Zion played his way from ~#5 draft pick to obvious #1 overall this year.
Nobody can name a more athletic 19 year old to ever enter the NBA.
Unless you're predicting injury it's hard to see how he could be a 'bust.'
You are right he will be 19 in NBA, as he turns 19 in July. Would you expect an 18 yo to continue improving? Yes
How many pros could play now, vs Cuse, UNC, and Fl State and shoot 33 for 43 (that includes 3 or 4 missed 3 pointers I think) and defend like he does (the steals and crazy blocks, like the one on Luke Maye with about 1:30 left)?
There are some guys who could do it- but they are really good NBA players.
