A highlight that was revealed via SportsCenter’s Twitter showed a well-coordinated Zion Williamson and Barrett transition. The latter led the break and converted the into a thunderous Williamson alley oop dunk that brought the place into a frenzy.
According to a to Duke’s official basketball Twitter, Williamson already has 36 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks, while Barrett has a double-double with 20 points and 10 assists as the 3rd quarter ended versus McGill University.
As these two continue to develop and play together, the Blue Devils will have a talented and athletic one-two punch that will wreak havoc in the tournament. They will be dangerous in transition and in one-on-one match ups, it feels they are men among boys.
With a sky-high ceiling and a future so bright, the wait is just killing the league when they will take the NBA leap. Even with this duo making waves, it is hard to tell how they’ll do in the NBA.
One thing is for sure, their future addition will make the league as electrifying as ever.
