3. Zion Williamson at 40 is a disgrace
To start, this ranking is beyond comprehension. There is no way there are 40 players better than former No. 1 overall pick Zion Williamson.
Zion may become an All-NBA player this season for the New Orleans Pelicans. The former All-Star is light-years beyond players ranked ahead of him, such as Scottie Barnes, Marcus Smart, Evan Mobley, Cade Cunningham, and about 20 others.
Williamson can easily average over 30 points per game this coming season, but people have major concerns due to his injury history, and he can stay healthy. Williamson was cleared to play at the end of last season, so he has had an entire offseason of full health, so those who may doubt him will change their mind quickly, as once he steps on the floor, his presence will be felt in a big way.
We just saw at NBA media day just how good of a shape Williamson is in for this season.
"Zion Williamson said, “I feel like I’m at my best right now… Moving faster, jumping higher. I feel great.”"
Williamson can do whatever he wants when on the floor; we haven’t seen someone so physically dominant and athletically gifted as him in a very long time. To not have him in the top 20 at least is a shame.
