Of course, there are still moments where Zion’s athleticism makes up for a lot. I wanted to wait a few games before immediately calling Zion Williamson good in the NBA. Sure, there were already signs that he would be special from the first game, but to be doing it repeatedly almost every single game for 9 games warrants a much deeper look at his game to see how’s he doing this in the NBA. In 27 minutes a game, he’s averaging 21 points and 7.7 rebounds on 57.6% from the field.
If we take Zion’s per 36 minutes stats, it looks like a video game for a rookie, averaging 28 points and 10.2 rebounds. But that hasn’t slowed him down at all. He’s scored 20+ points in 7 out of his 9 games. The Pelicans have won 6 of their last 8. His teammate Lonzo Ball is one of those guys that knows his teammates strengths and where to give them the ball so that they succeed.
Lonzo said this about Zion. “Obviously, he is a freak athlete, but he's also very skillful," "You can give it to him on the break, postups, short rolls, so he can score in a lot of different ways. And that's why it's so hard to stop him."” A great abbreviated breakdown which we all know, but the inclusion of short rolls caught my eye.
Zion on the other hand uses that to get momentum. Other times which is what I find more important, is that when he is stopped by the defense and he doesn’t get what he wants, he’s patient in finding an opening through angles or upper body movement to lay the ball up. This is not easy at all. I’m being serious, that requires a tremendous amount of body control. For example on this play, it’s the classic pick and roll between Lonzo and Zion. Lonzo attacks, and dishes it off to Zion almost at the three point line. He puts it in a place that Zion can catch it in stride. A defender meets Zion, but since Zion has momentum, he’s able to bump away the defender enough, and then contort to take keep the ball away from the defender’s hand.
Zion is also surprisingly slippery. I know he’s a monster on the court, it’s hard to lose track of him, but Zion knows how to get open. Especially with this spin-off he likes to do. This spin-off move requires a quick burst of lateral quickness, not just raw speed, to get around his defender. We also see it on rebounds like right here when he gets better positioning against Giannis who’s averaging 13.5 rebounds. We saw this in Duke and he’s doing it in the NBA against bigger players.
Now this is a stat that shows Zion dominance on the court. In his first 7 games, 81.3 percent of Zion’s shots either go in the basket or are rebounded by Zion himself. That doesn’t speak to just Zion’s efficiency, that also speaks to Zion’s second jump.
But even without seeing him in action, Zion’s reputation already has a gravity on the court. Now that was his first game and that hasn’t necessarily changed. He gets double in the post, but what really caught my eye was the gravity Zion has off-ball without being a proven knockdown shooter. This is the first time Giannis has played Zion and again we’re talking about Giannis who has the best defensive rating in the league. So if Giannis wasn’t willing to help off Zion who was in the baseline-3 point area to defend an Ingram drive, that speaks to the gravity that Zion. That’s where that size and speed combination plays a factor because it’s a legitimate threat. If it was enough for the Greek Freak to worry about, it’s something the league has to worry about.
He’s still within the offense most games, and there’s a patience to him, not just forcing it every time and calmly assessing a situation but I gotta say that when Zion gets going, he gets going in stretches and turns it on. One thing the Pelicans have done well is run post-ups for Zion, he’s averaging 6.9 post ups per game which would put him at 9th in the league right now and Zion used his weight and lateral bursts extremely well to get into good position down low. From there, he makes decent passes if doubled, powers through defenders. Especially with Lonzo looking for Zion, these post ups also become lob opportunities. Zion Williamson is different, but not just because of his gifts. There’s so much that he does that can’t be explained by numbers, not a weight, not how fast he can get, or how high he can jump. It’s how he’s using his gifts, the small little details that make Zion so good. Can Zion win rookie of the year? All-star by next season? - Sport
Yeah, Zion is different, is he ROY?

I can't see ROY unless he gets up to 25 ppg and 10rpg by the end of the year--for a whole year average. Ja has it locked down.
All-star next year, if he continues to play like this and is healthy.25 ppg and 10rpg is the minimum I expect from him. He'll be a fan favorite and will get a lot of votes.

do a tatum vid and also roll
Zion is just a kid too. Gonna get stronger. Gonna get better.
Zion's better than Ja 1000%, if he played more games he'd be the definite ROTY.
Zion Williamson, A combination of size and speed that we’ve never seen before
Shaq: Am I a joke to you?

And I like watching Zion play. It's a throwback to a more exciting, physical, interior style of play.
MagCynic how about harden ? Or lebron?

Ayyy the zion and lonzo pick and ROLL is gonna be mad crazy for years to come!
Zion is the man go pelicans I really hope he can get us to the playoffs if he does he’s my ROY 🌟
I'm not even a pelicans fan but you gotta love this team so many young talented players if they stick around together they will be contenders for years if any team can sneak into the playoff it's them
david perry yessir

Day 95 of asking MJ to do more inside the mind of NBA players
The goat is back!
IM SO EXITED THAT U POSTED I WAS JUST WATCHING UR VIDS BRO!
Tanesha Scott same bro💸💸💸💸
👌 okay buddy
Nba player does something crazy
Mj: whaaaaaat (in the background of his room)
Great vid MJ..
Love getting a mj2k notification it makes my day fr
Zions secret is he’s left handed. When all else fails he uses that left hand which most players aren’t used to defending. I know because I’m a lefty
He can use both hands though
Courtney Sutherlin facts. But that left hand is deadly.
Billy_Champion it’s difficult at first ngl but a lot of lefties have nothing major outside of the left hand. Once you key in on it, it’s usually a wrap. Righties are use to have their strong side cut off so most can operate on the weak side.
Its the nba bro they can alllll finish with the left it makes no difference they can guard either side
Keith Bryant it’s a difference between finishing and Dominating with the left hand
Excellent analysis bro
Zion goated when he did the crying Jordan meme on draftnight
Yo g love the vids keep goin g
If Zion can keep his health and weight in a good place he could be a Charles Barkley level of player on offense with better defensive upside and athleticism
Great video
The goat
Next year ZION will be a BEAST when he is 100% in shape 😱
Im loyal to you Mj2k great video!
His attitude is superb. Above all the rest his heart and mind will do more than his talent. May he not lose that Attitude. Thanks

His rip from Giannis was very telling of his size and strength.
Look at that rim in his armpit... what a jump!!! @7:48
How are you a Lakers and Knicks fan that seems kind suspect

Rolls
1:38 what is that face Giannis
Roll
Okay just hop in my spaceship
he pulled the trigger
I swear you just made the same video twice
Hate to be the bad guy here. But he's a more expensive and heavier version of Blake Griffin, which gives him much higher risk of getting injured. I don't think he can last long the way he's playing right now. Remember those players putting up 15+ dunks per night like DeAndre Jordan, Whiteside, and Dwight Howard, they can't lead a team very far.
What position would Zion play if he played football??
#EarlySquad
I see,,,, Godzilla in Zion so we will name him ZionZilla, King of Monster Dunks. with Mix A Lot s Godzilla remix..
I can’t wait for him to break the backboard

Giannis, Luka, and zion are going to be the new faces if the nba
ROLL. Now you know
Zion wouldve been an all star this season if he played

Im a lakers fan and a knicks fan, its complicated

Besides his athleticism it’s his high basketball IQ that makes him great.
