Can he play on the perimeter or is he just beast down low? That's a huge pick up early on for Cal.

What's also interesting is that don't mention that Felton is going to Carolina since that's a done deal but put out a rumor that Zion is going to U.K.

How is that not bigger news? As much as the kid is covered with all of his highlights on every social media platform, I feel like Bleacher Report, or ESPN, or 247 would have reported that already.

It's a misprint, but he may well end up there.
Yep I'm with this. Not seen him personally but most of his work seems to be right around the basket. If he doesn't have a shot outside of the rim he may not be as big of an impact as people hope. I feel certain that he has been told that and is working on that aspect if that is even the case. Hell he might be the next JJ with down low skills to. :)

I think his impact will hinge on whether he wants to pass the ball and play D when necessary. He has those abilities, but he'll have to choose to use them. There's a time to bully on offense too. I'm guessing he'll be a top 10 player in the country no matter where he goes. He won't be completely unstoppable though. Very few guys are. Even Jah had major weaknesses that made him a liability.
