The most hyped and talked about NBA prospect entering the NBA since arguably LeBron James in 2003. Since becoming an internet sensation in high school, Zion Williamson has continued to make highlights plays and eye-catching dunks showcasing his unrivaled athleticism. Zion Williamson has been on many basketball pundits list all year as the hands down No. 1 overall pick for the 2019 NBA Draft.

Williamson first and foremost is a lighting bulb that brings people and crowds to watch and be entertained by how he plays the game of basketball. Williamson game is built off his unworldly athletic ability and his game can properly be described as a combination of Shawn Kemp, Josh Smith and Blake Griffin.

Zion Williamson is no doubt one of the best prospects in the 2019 NBA Draft and will be one of the future stars in the NBA. Williamson might have more flaws than the other prospects, but Williamson upside is just as great.

Williamson projects to me as a good player that can make an All-Star game or two but won’t ascend to be a top 5 player because of the style of game he plays.
