Zion Williamson is one of the hottest names in basketball and is a forward out of Duke University. Williamson is a unique talent at 6-foot-7 and 285 pounds. He is an incredible athlete and a walking highlight reel. His dunks and blocks are all over social media and Williamson is a player worth keeping an eye on.
Williamson averages 19.8 points and 9.4 rebounds and will likely be a top pick of next year’s draft. NBA fans are becoming aware of his talent. In fact, some fans had the chance to get a closer look.
On Thursday, Williamson played his first game at Madison Square Garden. The legendary “Garden” is home of the New York Knicks, who are 12th in the Eastern Conference. With a record of 9-24, the Knicks are on the verge of another lottery season, but there is still hope. If the Knicks are a lottery team, they could possibly draft Williamson. In the meantime, they will continue their season and hope for a player like Williamson.
When asked about the Madison Square Garden, Williamson had positive things to say.
“Forty-one games at the Garden, I mean, it would probably be incredible,” Williamson said. “Playing 41 games here wouldn’t be so bad.”
Williamson scored 17 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in Duke’s win over Texas Tech. However, he fouled out in the second half. Regardless, fans got their first glimpse of the young player. Knicks’ players Kevin Knox and Emmanuel Mudiay were also in attendance. They saw a player that could become their teammate in the future.
Zion Williamson is a special player, who will be a top pick of the 2019 draft. In fact, his teammates RJ Barrett and Cameron Reddish will be top picks as well. If the Knicks draft Williamson, they have a special player on their hands.
