Zion has a combination of skill and athleticism that just puts him on another level. Anthony Davis might have an argument, but I’d say Zion is better than he was as well.

I can't think of anyone more dominant in such a short time. The only thing I don't know about Zion is his outside shot...never seen him take one. Other than that, he's the best I can recall...and that goes back a looooooong way ('70's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Anthony Davis was able to dominate the game without constantly having the ball in his hands. Zion may be, in the college game, a step ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually has a solid shot for the type of player he is. Shooting 32.7% from three on 2 attempts per game this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooting the three better than Romeo impresses me even more. If he doesn't get hurt, he's going to have an amazing career at the next level.

I don't think you'd be wrong to say Zion has been more dominant than those guys. Along the lines of AD, Greg Oden was incredibly dominant in college.

Threedom Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Zion is the best freshman I have seen in 30 plus years watching college hoops. Height, strength, good shot and handles. His quickness, especially his quick jump is unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierinbham Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Early 80's, but Patrick Ewing was the most dominant I can remember. 3 championship games in 4 years. One mindless Freddy Brown pass away from beating the Jordan/Worthy/Perkins UNC team in 82. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all will depend on Carsen for sure. The way I see it, I think Purdue has already overachieved quite a bit this year. Easily one of the best coaching jobs Painter has had at Purdue. Would be nice to win at least a few tournament games but an early round upset wouldn’t surprise me. This team is very different than last years team obviously.

Quite honestly, if it were not for the one and done rule.... the next player after Lebron that should have gone straight to the NBA, out of high school, is Zion. He is THAT accomplished. And I could not agree with you more. ______________________ I am gonna include this. I said it at the beginning of the season. And it holds true to now. Purdue is a team that can't depend upon just on Carson Edwards to get things done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosiertildeath Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Thanks Mile !!!! They were very lucky to have tied for the BTEN regular season co-championship !

Seeking6 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Going to be very interesting to see how the committee seeds the South bracket in Louisville. If Virginia gets 1 seed there and they pair either Tennessee or Kentucky as 2 seed? Talk about home court advantage for both SEC teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painter and company deserve a lot of credit for turning things around after the non-conference. And it wasn’t largely due to luck or things falling into place. That’s bogus.
