Zion Williamson is the undisputed top prospect. In what’s considered a relatively thin draft class, Williamson might be the best individual prospect since Anthony Davis. He’s the best player in college basketball and one of the most unique players in recent memory.
At 6-foot-7, Williamson is listed at 272 pounds, which would make him one of the heaviest players in the NBA. He somehow blends that bulk with top-flight athleticism, unleashing a 45-inch vertical and fluid direction changes on helpless defenders.
That athleticism translates to a tantalizing defensive ceiling, which is only boosted by Zion’s impressive work ethic. He’s also smart, making pinpoint passes on the move and manipulating defenses with his unique tool kit. There should be no debate, regardless of who’s picking first overall.
