Im only one who thinks Zion will just be a decent player..very over hype..Anthony Bennett 2??
I'm leery about his ultimate fit in the NBA, but I do not see Anthony Bennett.
Bennett averaged 24 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block per 40 minutes.
Williamson is averaging 30 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 3 blocks per 40 minutes.
Bennett shot 53/38/70
Williamson shoots 68/30/67
Bennett off rat 118 def rating 90
Williamson off rat 136 def rating 82
Bennett OBPM 5.3, DBPM 3.2, BPM 8.5
Williamson OBPM 13.2, DBPM 8.5, BPM 21.7
Bennett never dominated a college game like Williamson does. He is a monster on defense and uber-efficient on offense. He makes back-breaking plays on both sides of the court. Williamson's ability to enforce his will on the college game is unparalleled.
Still, what is he in the NBA? I don't know. I think he is a small-ball 4 to pair with a high level pick-and-roll player (aka the Draymond Green role). Although I think he is pretty good at distribution, he will be at his best as an attacker/finisher in that role.
Big guys won't be able to stay with him. Small guys won't be able to defend him.
At the very least, I see his playing type as the forward version of Russell Westbrook. Maybe he won't ever be the most skilled guy, but he will enforce his will on the game.
