Wasted strength on preseason. Too preoccupied with selling the Pelican brand. Win games and they will come. Or they won't and the franchise moves somewhere where fans will.
Not a a good start to his career. Needs to lose weight ASAP tbh. Hope this dude’s career isn’t derailed by injuries cause he’s special.

Been saying for months now... Zion will be one big ass bust.
Hope he recovers 100%, but this is a huge opportunity for BI - who's in a contract year.
Cmon guys make fun of the injury like y’all did with ADs finger cmon where the jokes at.
This is sad though. I really wanted to see dude opening night. Hope he comes back solid. Once he gets the right diet and exercise plans he’ll be straight.
Zion got to not get fat. Seems like he has that in him.
LOL fat bas
Agreed, he needs to lose atleast 40-50 pounds IMO otherwise he's going to be out of the league quickly with the injuries. 6'7 and 284 now, and ideally he should be at 234-244 pounds. Even then, the guy will still have a major strength advantage over his opponents. By comparison Lebron is 6'8 250.
If he doesn't, he'll still have like 3-4 years of highlight reel dunks here and there, but at that frame he wont age well
He's gonna shat on every single player in today's NBA but yah it might be short lived
Been saying it a year now, dude won't last in the NBA.
Wow, that sucks for him. He was going to be pretty good
Yeah but LeBroom is on lots of PEDs, and Zion is just a kid who's country strong.
This fat needs to slim down quick those knees are not gonna take that much impact very long
Greg Oden 2.0, tbh... Kidding, but this news sucks. He looked great in preseason.
Dude validated both his tremendous upside and injury concerns. Good news unlike Simmons or Blake he is not out for his whole rookie year. But how many jumps at that size he got in those knees? My guess is not a ton. I know easy answer is to lose weight... But his frame and his game is built on his mass. Randle lost weight but he wasn't this big nor this explosive. But even losing 20lbs gotta help... Those talking 50-60 are not being realistic.

So far he seems like a decent kid. AD is a ass who held his own team hostage for a season because he wanted to buddy up in LA so he's more deserving tbh
Even if he lost 40 lbs, he'd still be bigger than most guys. That's a better option than being the Shaquille O' Neal of small forwards but always in and out of the lineup due to injuries
I agree 40 would be great...
just not sure it's realistic considering but who knows...
It's gonna be a struggle eating right in New Orleans. All that jambalaya and shrimp gumbo...he might be 435 lbs by his 3rd year in the league
phew, luckily he might be injury prone so I can tell everyone on the internet that I called him being a bust
He's not in shape. Barkley had a great career NOT in top shape. But that is so rare.
