    Very athletic and can jump. When he sheds a few pounds and gets in shape he’ll be a handful.

    I've never seen Barrett shoot well in the NCAA. Nice to see he's taken that same busted shot to the NBA.

    Caleb and Zion have similar ball-handling, shooting, and passing ability. Both are undersized PFs. Both have issues with their weight.

    It’s weird seeing Duke players with such a lack of fundamentals, Coach K be lacking.

    The thing about many of these guys is they've all gotten by, by just being crazy Athletic for most of their career's they've all got a lot of development to do.

    He's going to make a living trying to get fouled in traffic.

    He's gone full John Calipari, recruits a ton of one and done's doesn't really coach much anymore. Watch Duke, they basically just out talent teams these days.

    Saying this for years
    I think some people just see what they want to see because Williamson looks like such a freakish athlete and seems likable. I didn't see anything in the first half that comes close to what you saw. He looked really slow to me. He looked winded. The only times he looked engaged was when he had a clear path for a dunk.

    He got three rebounds in the first half. Three. He got blocked at least three times. The Knicks summer league team has two guys over 220 pounds and two guys taller than 6-9. They have five guys who played on the worst team in the NBA last season. Because of that, they might have seven guys who will play for one of the worst teams in the NBA this season. Knox should be outstanding, and Robinson is a real up-and-comer. And, of course, you have Barrett. But saying you saw Williamson do anything in the first half that leads you to believe he will be abusing Nurk in the manner you say is simply laughable.

    It’s such a shame, I miss when Duke bad guys like Redick, Singler, Gerald Henderson, McRoberts, Curry, the Plumlee’s, etc.

    Zion is both a better ball handler and passer and just a much better decision maker overall.

    Defensively, there's no comparison.

    Even if he's never a number one option on a championship team due to his jumper and lack of half-court skill with the ball, he's literally guaranteed to be efficient on good usage through his finishing, transition play and likely elite foul drawing.
