    PJ Tucker averaged 9 rebounds his last year at Texas and Durant averaged over 11. Sometimes, physical limitations catch up with you. PJ being short and Durant being rail thin.

    That being Zion only averaged 9 rebounds at Duke so it's not like he was Charles Barkley.

    Sounds like the Rockets should be stacking up for when Zion becomes available in the market.

    Why?

    He's so far oft injured and is a strange hybrid player that its unclear how that fits as a #1 type player on a championship team.

    Don't get me wrong, AMAZING player, very exciting to watch and certainly the just add any truly great player that is willing approach isn't the worst.

    He is built different.

    A foot is the last thing he needs to injure. Ask yao.

    I don't know... big, heavy dudes with foot problems haven't had a great record. Big, heavy dudes, with a game that revolves around explosiveness/jumping? That may be even worse. Maybe if he comes a bit cheaper... lol.

    I know everybody says this that aren't wildly rich, but why dont these guys just get a chef and tell them to limit their calories and make it as delicious as you can? It's so strange. Lebron spends a million on his diet (and PEDs jk jk) every year you can get Hello Fresh meals for less.

    it just seems easy to have a guy watch your weekly caloric intake when you have so many resources available to you.

    i dont know.

    I've thought about this before. I would do keto and eat a ridiculous amount of King Crab and Lobster. Even still, breaking 100k would be difficult.

    I'd bet he has a chef, that's why he's not tree fiddy.

    His daily intake is probably insane.

    Maybe because they do so much physical activity they need to eat so much more as well. Im sure Zion has his chef but if he eats like 6 portions of diet meals then its like he didnt diet to begin with.

    Lebron prob spends a mill cuz he buys the crazy **** like foigrae with truffles and caviar on a daily basis or w/e.
