@@Defender78bruh, she can dunk easily? She showed in exhibition, she just don’t because that would cause injury and too much stress on her knees. She will be the healthiest 7 footer ever playing basketball.
@@user-fn5mr4oz4j There's only one player in her draft class that could potentially be taken #1 over Ziyu, Juju, and that's if the team at #1 in 2027 has more pressing backcourt needs than frontcourt needs.
No! Have you ever seen Wemby played? Wembly is so much faster that top the block shot chart in 2023-24 NBA season. This lady barely can jump a foot above ground! Australia team just beated China a few hours earlier in U-17 Asian Cup. They just need to push the ball quick upcourt and there is a 5 vs 4 situation.
Her weight might be a concern. Perhaps shed at least 10-20 pounds to lighten her feet a bit & make her slightly more nimble, it is something worth a try, because we have to see how low in weight she wants to go without sacrificing her health & strength. People say that what is the point of being that tall if she then cannot dunk, but the reason for that is that she is a woman & women do not have the muscularity that men do to be able to jump higher, even at her height. That is why you do not see, or very rarely see, women dunking in basketball, no matter where on earth or at school or a professional league. I have also read that her coaching & medical staff have told her to try not to dunk to save her knees. This is due to her height, she needs to be careful with her feet, knees & ankles, because many people at her height have historically gotten those health issues into their senior years because of those freakish heights. But she is still young, & she will be continually training to see where her basketball potential goes. For me, another Chinese basketball center that seems to have a good height-to-weight ratio is Han Xu, as she is still considerably tall (tallest in WNBA currently) but she is skinny which makes her nimbler & faster, & she can shoot threes. 07/19/24
Australia beat China in the final though, they were neck and neck throughout the game, but in the last few minutes they pulled out to win by 10 points. I have seen a couple of her videos on Chinese social media, and she is training to improve her all-round skills, she is not just resting on her laurels.
I have read that her coaching & medical staff have told her to try not to dunk, if she could at all, to save her knees, because most people her height have had health issues for centuries, including knee & foot problems into their senior years. Her weight does seem to be a concern, she might need to shed a few pounds to lighten her up & make her maybe a little bit more nimble. And most women cannot dunk at all anyway, even in pro-leagues, because they do not have the muscularity that men have, even at Ziyu`s height. A very very few women can dunk, sure, but it is more of a light dunk & not a power dunk that a man can do, like with even a man under 6 feet in height. 07/20/24
@@robertmarking817 ... Yes, we have to wait & see. She may need to shed a few pounds though, that might make her a little bit faster on court & save her knees & feet into her old age.
She is surprisingly agile!! I've watched a ton of her videos!!
I really want to see her in WNBA. It will be a huge draw for the women's game.👍👍
Long arms, tall, solidly built, she would definitely be worth a try in the WNBA.
She might be too unathletic to dunk, but still

She walks alot in the paint.

She's not just tall, she's huge. Not just some tall and thin center you can box out easily.
Around 280-300 pounds I reckon
I would say 300 pounds. I wouldn't fancy her running into me
About 300 pounds. I wouldn't fancy her running into me if I was stood at full speed.
No one is pushing her out of the box.
At 7'3 she is the tallest female in the world
Incredible hands and touch around the rim with extremely long arms. Wow
If Wemby can do it, she can!!

She is the Yao Ming of the WNBA
How you pronounce her name in English is how you’d say it Chinese lol. That said, your pronunciation was 100% better than other commentary
Yao Ming was not that athletic but had incredible touch around the basket and she has some of that
I've been watching Zhang play and she's impressive. She has a soft touch, nice post moves, good jumper, and solid defensive ability!
And she could do all the points!!

She has great hands, long limbs and good hustle, always jogging up the floor. I think she'll be really good if she keeps at it.
Guinness World Records needs to recognise her already as the next tallest living woman
Yes I have just seen her
That's out of this world,,oh my❤
Zhang Ziyu = Zhang Zi Yu

She travels a lot in the paint.

More like China was lost when Ziyu wasn't playing; China was +5 with Ziyu.
Why would she want to come to the WNBA, she can play in the European league and make more money.
Chinese/European basketball seasons start more or less when the WNBA's end.
John Z Yoo!
She’s going to be a doctor in China. Not going to the nba
At this rate she will start med school well in the 2040s...
She may weight more than Yao Ming 😂😂 Yao was very thin when he came to Houston
It’s pointless to be that tall in basketball 🏀 and not be able to consistently dunk. 😂

WNBA won't let her enter the league.
Yup.... National security!
Her body will never hold up against elite speed and talent
Just have her stay on one end of the court.
She’ll look like she’s playing above the rim compared to the other women!! 😂 🤣
You can never question a players desire to be great
You mean the speed and talent of the wnba? lol.
She’s 17 years old , nice touch. she may mature into something great.
@@robertmarking817 ... Yes, we have to wait & see. She may need to shed a few pounds though, that might make her a little bit faster on court & save her knees & feet into her old age.
She doesn’t look like she can get up and down the court. I wouldn’t waste a top draft pick on her.
C'mon the girl is a circus side show. I'm sure she's a nice young lady. But, she ain't no bball player. SMH🙄
Please don't call her a sideshow. I'm sure she plays because she likes playing.
If she was 5 foot tall, I doubt she would play
Yep. If you are that tall and you are not playing like Shaq then you are useless.
@@sambell904 kick rocks, troll!
...of course she's not a basketball player...she just throws the ball in the basket and scores points for her team...and wins the game...lol🤣🤣🤣🤣
