Long, bouncy, and quick with a great motor and plenty of versatility on both ends of the floor Zion Lloyd can impact a game from anywhere on the court. 'From the great lift, he gets and high fluid release on a smooth and nearly unblockable jumper to his quick and slippery drives to the rim which most often ends with high flying and thunderous dunks, to his relentless pursuit of rebounds and explosive shot-blocking leaps Zion brings to the floor not only length and elite-level athleticism but an endless motor and a versatile skill set. 'Zion's quickness off the dribble is impressive. 'With quick rips and rangy strides, he attacks space decisively and slips through seams in an almost elusive manner. '

Make no mistake he's coming to the rim where he launches himself with explosiveness and fearlessness attacking the rim. 'Not in reckless abandoned mind you but displaying very good body control, length, and impressive athleticism. 'He can absorb contact nicely and gets to the line at a good rate and also shows creativity and a soft touch at varying angles off the glass and on runners. 'Zion does a great job cutting to the rim and getting to his spots on the floor where he is a good catch and shoot guy. 'He can hit the three-pointer or score in the middle stepping into the jumper and displaying good mechanics. 'You can see the energy transfer from his great lift and into his high release and given his length and long wingspan it is almost statuesque in appearance at his release point. ''

He has a developing pull-up jumper and once he gets consistency in that phase watch out! 'Zion's solid footwork, quickness, and length allow him to harass ball handlers and he is a very good perimeter defender. 'He provides a great deal of versatility defensively because he can guard the dribble and also his length, rabbit-like repeat jumping ability and ball-hawking defensive effort makes him a factor off the ball and around the rim. 'Zion really loves to defend and makes an effort to contest everything! 'He is a shot-blocking threat because of his quick and explosive elevation and length and seemingly comes out of nowhere at times to block a would-be layup. 'He will also move his feet and take a charge on occasion and is solid as a ball defender and rim protector. 'Active and bouncy as a rebounder, his long arms and quick elevation allow him to snatch rebounds at their highest point. 'His effort, quickness, and ability to read the ball off the glass allow him to establish rebounding angles and beat opponents to the spot. '

Zion is an impact force but it's scary seeing the opportunities and potential still untapped in what can be one of the most impactful players in the state! 'I'm anxious to follow his development while also impressed with how productive and impactful a player he is right now! 'Zion has a high ceiling and college coaches would serve themselves well to monitor his development! 'I'm excited as to how good he can be!'
