Can Zion throw a football?
Zion, because he's getting that guaranteed money after this year, whereas Lawrence has 2 more years to wait. Less chance of injury for Zion before the huge payday, and it's basketball vs football, low vs high contact. Hell, Lawrence has already gotten smashed outta one game his Frosh year already...
The chances of Lawrence being a great QB at the NFL level vs Zion being a great NBA player are greater IMO.
There are very few athletes that are can't miss. Lebron James being an example. I don't think Lawrence is a can't miss prospect, but he's pretty darn close.
There is a greater chance Zion is a Larry Johnson vs a Charles Barkley. Or whatever his ceiling comp would be.
really just would you rather be nba or nfl is the question to me cause they both are insane talents who are gonna make a killing. i think the nba being more global and being able to sign bigger shoe deals etc will give williamson the better chance for long term $ and success. lawrence was so impressive on monday and should be allowed to go pro when he wants. the whole 3 years since high school rule is stupid. for certain players its just holding them back.
