Zion Williamson is a beast. Really hope the Kings suck just enough for us to grant us that type of player.
Imagine the 76ers would have traded Jayson Tatum and Zion Williamson for Markelle Fultz.
I really don’t see how he doesn’t go #1.
The guy is too freaky an athlete of that size, a generational-type. Transcendent, as they like to say. We aren’t talking Westbrook-type athleticism, not even Giannis. I don’t even think Barkley (much shorter) was as powerful. LeBron is the only guy I’ve seen at that age that was so pbisically imposing.
That absolutely ridiculous block, then ran the ball on a fastbreak and delivered a perfect bounce-pass through defenders for an easy bucket was one of the best sequences I have ever seen in college basketball. By a freshman in his first game.
I don’t love his shot, but with his gifts, you have such a template to mold him.
I know their are other great players (his teammates), but whoever doesn’t take Zion is nuts. His ceiling is just too high compared to Barrett, imo. If he puts it ALL together.... wow.
That said. I’ll be happy with Barrett or Reddish to replace Brown (when we trade him for AD).
