The down side of major hype is that it eventually goes the other way. This is true for almost everyone. Last season even LeBron James saw his hypometer dialed way back.
For Zion Williamson right now it’s weight with Seth Greenberg weighing in, saying that Williamson is “significantly overweight.”
His body is going to be a significant challenge for him in a way that former Duke teammates RJ Barrett or Cam Reddish will never know. As magnificent as his gifts are, he’s going to have to work hard to keep his weight down and critically, to keep himself injury free.
