Live Bar August 4th, reportedly, Duke University announced the latest physical data of the 19th No. 1 pick Zion Williamson: he is six feet and seven inches tall (about 2.01 meters), and weighs 285 pounds (about 129.27 kg).
According to the US media Hoopshype, if Zion enters NBA with this weight, he will become the second-level player in the NBA, second only to Clippers center Boban Mayanovich (131 kg).
NBA trainer David Nurse believes that if Zion wants to have a healthy long-term career, he needs to work hard on some habits. "He's a bit like the James body, but whether he can perform well in the NBA with that figure will depend on his dedication," Nurse said. "He needs to understand nutrition and take care of all aspects of his body. His figure can easily get fat."
According to another NBA trainer, Zion needs to hire his own personal chef and must be self-disciplined. "A lot of aerobic or interval dieting every day will ruin his body and make him vulnerable to injury," the trainer said. "The last thing he wants to do is to play an NCAA season at that weight, and then start the NBA trial and summer league. This will psychologically and physically make him suffer frequent setbacks in the first two seasons. In the long run, it is very bad to be so heavy, although the photos look beautiful." Another trainer said: "If he plays at such a heavy weight and does not change his bad habits, he is dancing with the devil. Any bad performance or injury will blame his weight."
