Summary

We hit on every aspect of Zion’s debut: the 17-point run, the minutes limit, the passing, and the defense, plus a bit more on Spurs/Pels. Then the Southwest Division.  Who are the center and wing options for Dallas in the wake of the Powell injury? What are the Grizz really going to get for Andre Iguodala?  We make predictions on where he ends up and what the return is. New Orleans seemed like a potential seller at the deadline; could they instead add talent to fuel their playoff run? Wlll the Spurs do anything at all?  And how can Houston add to their team with a dearth of matching salary and probable desire to say under the tax? Finally we hit on the latest news around the NBA.

It was

0:20.8

Incredibly memorable for the fact that he played at the start of each quarter in these four minute stints

For the fact that the last of those ended with 17 points in three minutes including scoring on six straight

0:33.5

Possessions and then he had to be taken out due to the minutes limit

0:37.2

Which I admired their intestinal fortitude even if it wasn't particularly fun for everyone in the arena at the time

0:43.9

But hopefully much more to come from Williamson

What was your initial takeaway after seeing this explosion in the fourth but just all the minutes that he played tonight

0:54.4

18 in total before the fourth I thought it was you know

1:13.3

But in the fourth it was holy crap Zion

1:15.5

Williamson has an almost set shot three that looks really good and

1:18.9

I completely understand San Antonio leaving him open because at least on the first couple because that

1:24.3

Wasn't exactly a part of the scouting report

1:26.2

But he looked so comfortable to shooting that shot and I just I mean think about how much time we spent not comparing them as players
