Skills? Barkley didn't have many his rookie year. Zion can handle, pass and use several good spin moves. Barkley was a bowling ball running down the court and would get called for charges a lot. He was a space eater and just use his wide but shorter frame to clear enough space to get a shot up. Also he was a physical player and was able to get away with a lot more back then. Zion will not.D_H wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2019 5:56 pmHe is not even close to Barkley. Maybe physically wise but Barkley had a lot more basketball skills to work with.Mplsfonz wrote: ↑Fri Aug 23, 2019 10:14 amI don't see too many players that will be able to stop him. He's kind of short for his weight, but 280 is still 280. I see a Barkley type of game for him. Career again depends on health, and like I said before, 280 is still 280. Knees, ankles, hips don't hold up well under that amount of pressure.
At least we can see him twice a year.

I still have Naz with a better contribution this year and a higher upside than Culver. Not that Culver sucks he's just the solid all around guy that doesn't have anything he more than solid at. He's also got a lot more in front of him this year than Naz.
Naz is crazy skilled and has a chip on his shoulder now. Offensively he has a lot of Draymond in him. Range, handle, passing, instincts. If he can just give good effort on D and rebound like a guy his size should he's gonna be a baller.
