330 lbs:
When discussing on “The Lowe Post” podcast Luka Doncic’s admittedly subpar conditioning, Tim MacMahon of ESPN indicated Doncic – listed at 230 pounds – reported to training camp at 260 pounds. Then, the discussion turned to Williamson (listed at 284 pounds).
As always, the question is whether Williamson is at – or even near – optimal conditioning for playing basketball. The Pelicans star succeeds by playing with tremendous power. But he also puts so much force on his body.
330:
Over the following few days, fans would go crazy trying to guess his current weight, but ESPN’s Tim MacMahon seems to have found the answer. According to his sources, Zion is at 330 pounds right now, which puts him among the heaviest players in NBA history.
“The number I’ve heard from several places about Zion is 70 pounds higher than 260. You do the math.”
