Zion Williamson, PF, Freshman, Duke University

Zion Williamson is the most athletic player in this draft and is the most athletic NBA prospect to come out of high school in the last 10 years. If you think otherwise, please enjoy this video that will allow you to see just how wrong you were. You’re welcome.

Williamson is a freak of an athlete who plays both ends of the floor, and from watching the Blue Devils’ first few games, it’s clear that he’s become more comfortable taking jump shots.

At 6-foot-7 and 285 pounds, the Duke freshman has made scouts drool while frustrating his opponents.

What will Williamson bring to the Cleveland Cavaliers?

Everything. Scoring, defense, court vision, leadership and a chip-on-his-shoulder playing style. Putting Williamson in a Cavaliers uniform could very well be the beginning of a new era in Cleveland.
