Zion Williamson, the consensus first overall pick in this summer's draft, recently admitted that he would love to play for the New York Knicks.
Speaking to Steve Serby of the New York Post, the 18-year-old shared his admiration for the organization, as he welcomed the idea of the Knicks potentially drafting him this June.
“I mean, I don’t know if they need much saving, but … to the New York fans, I really appreciate the love and support,” Williamson said. “If the Knicks did draft me, I would love to be there. Like I said, whatever team drafts me, that’s where I want to be.”
While this is by no means a confirmation of Zion's incessant desire to play for New York, he unquestionably holds the team and its supporters in very high regard.
Williamson went on to say that he appreciates the rich history of the storied organization, and that it would be an absolute honor for him to dawn the Knicks' colors.
“I know that they’re a very historic-like team,” he said. “They have a lot of history based off of.
“I mean, if they draft me, it’d be an honor to play for them.”
Zion put on a show on Friday as he led Duke to a first-round victory against a 16th-seeded North Dakota State side, 85-62.
