On Saturday night, NBA top prospect Zion Williamson treated the crowd with an insane in-game 360 dunk, as the Duke Blue Devils handily defeated the Clemson Tigers, 87-68.
After the contest, Williamson downplayed the powerful jam, claiming that he has more in his arsenal. This is via David M. Hale of ESPN.
In the end, Williamson shrugged off the monster dunk, calling it “a 7 or 8.” He said fans still haven't seen his best.
“We've got to see [what a 10 looks like],” Williamson said. “I can't tell you yet.”
Williamson certainly is not short of confidence, and this is for good reason. On Saturday, he led his team to another victory with 25 points on 9-of-11 shooting, along with 10 rebounds.
On the season, Williamson is averaging 20.2 points (on 66.4 percent shooting), 9.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.1 steals, 1.9 blocks, and roughly 3.5 highlight plays in 13 appearances for Duke thus far.
Listed at 6-foot-7 and 285 pounds, Zion is an absolute beast of an athlete. Despite his larger than life frame, the 18-year-old possesses the speed and agility that has led to comparisons between him and the great LeBron James.
Williamson is considered by many as the consensus number one overall pick in the upcoming Draft, and many teams already have him on their radar. As a matter of fact, there have been reports that some NBA teams have been tanking this season in the hopes of upping their chances of scooping up Williamson in June.
Zion is a once-in-a-generation type of talent, and does have the makings of being an NBA team's cornerstone superstar.
