Zion Williamson

Small Forward

Height: 6-7

Weight: 230 lbs.

The whole world knows who Zion Williamson is. John Calipari offered the internet sensation just months ago. Williamson would fit right it at Kentucky. The fans would be all over him in Lexington. To most, Williamson would see like just a supercharged athlete. But, he has a skill set to get into the paint and attack the rim. Williamson projects to be a significant rebounding player who can average over 20 points. He can pound the lane with power and guard bigger forwards using his brute strength.

Pure Power

We’re pretty sure every time he goes to dunk the ball, he tries to rip the rim off the backboard. I’m sure Kentucky Basketball fans would be alright with seeing that every day. Williamson would pair well with players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jemarl Baker based on their shooting abilities. Williamson makes his teammates better, and with the possibilities of returning players the team would look real good with him in the picture.
