Zion Williamson is a 6-foot 7-inch 285 lb., mammoth Duke freshman, from Spartanburg, South Carolina. He is a full impact player by every sense of the words. He is first on the top 10 list of most STOCKS, block and steal rates, this season. He is building on an impressive 38 STOCKS his freshman season; 7.5% (19 blocks), 4.2% (19 steals). As we all know, his defensive ability is incredible, but that is not what we see shine the most. Zion is averaging 20.4 Points per game, 9.0 Total Rebounds per game, and 2.4 Assists per game. Along with his sheer size, his athleticism is unmatched, Williamson’s soared past a vertical of 40 inches. This makes Williamson the 10th-highest max vertical leaper, and the highest for Duke. The difference between him and other athletes is Williamson stands 6-foot 7-inches at a whopping 285 pounds. If he were to go professional right now, he would be the second heaviest player in the NBA behind 7-foot 3-inch 272-pound Boban Marjonovic. This makes him the only other insanely athletic physical specimen to his professional counterpart, LeBron James. In a mock draft, Zion Williamson is expected to be drafted first, ahead of two of his fellow superstar teammates, at Duke, R.J. Barrett and Cameron Reddish. He has surpassed many expectations, and it would be a huge surprise to see him spend more than one year playing college basketball as everyone has come to realize he has a very little likelihood of being a bust in the NBA, as the unimaginable athlete and basketball player that Zion Williamson is.
