Zion Williamson is proving time and time again that he is one of the best young players the league has ever seen. His supreme athleticism makes him one of the most tantalizing players to watch on the court. And his latest feat is a rejection of an Abdel Nader layup.
It was a spectacular showcase of defensive prowess from one of the league's most exciting rookies. With the shot clock running down, Nader had to get the ball to the net while Williamson was guarding him.
With a bit of dribbling, he was able to get to the rim. He attempted to Eurostep his way into the basket, but Williamson was more than ready to erase the shot attempt from distance.
It was a beautiful play that Dime immortalized for Pelicans fans to gawk at.
Not in Zion Williamson’s house.

It may be too late for Williamson to win Rookie of the Year as Ja Morant built himself a convincing case. However, it's hard to not root for Williamson to win every time he's making plays like these.
