Zion Williamson is very good. #1 or 2 in the class of 2018 I believe depending on if they have him or Marvin Bagley at 1
Agreed - I'm pretty excited to see Joe also
here is Zion's mixtape. might want to mute the sound cause his track is imho ridiculous but the play is sick
Looks like he's playing against the local YMCA team - lots of short, skinny guys hoping he doesn't hurt them. But no denying his other-worldly leaping & dunking skills. Big, strong dude!

This dude is an absolute monster. Wow.
Stopped watching after 2 minutes. Does he play D or have a jump shot?
He can shoot the three. Think Dominique Wilkins as someone his game is similar to
The last two minutes were all jump shots.
There were no jump shots. Just dunks against midgets.
and can he make a FT? all i saw was dunks and nobody defending him
I'm pretty sure the guy who tried to block him at about 4:08 of the video is dead now.
Wouldn't want him. He isn't a point guard who can break down the defense.
When did Dominique Wilkins,Shawn Kemp, Larry Johnson and Lebron have a kid???? Good Gosh!!! I think he killed the young man in the camo at the end there.. No doubt he was playing against the middle school after church rec league but his leaping ability athletic is crazy.. He was nailing that Lebron dunk better than Lebron.. I think he might have a future! looks like he'll have his senior year in high school to develop his body and leaping ability!! Good Night! Lol
I think the impressive thing about this kid is that he can dunk with both hands. Yes, the mixtape is against people shorter than him, but it is still impressive when a senior in HS can hit his head on the bottom of the rim. Will be interesting to see what happens to him in college next year against bigger dudes than him and who will actually challenge him.
The big question is have we offered? The even bigger question is who will walk on when he accepts?!

....reminds me of a more raw version of J.R. Rider (plus some Shawn Kemp/Dominique as noted above)
Forgot about that. Still, he looks college ready now.
, but anyways when he does get to campus will be interesting to see what he does. Helluva athlete though and that is something you just cant teach.For all of you saying he is playing against short little dudes. This guy plays against the best competition every single weekend. He does this against them also. That is why he is ranked 2nd in the country and some argue he should be above Bagley for the number 1 spot.
That's what I took away from this as well. While he looks really explosive it be interesting to know if he has any post moves. The video only showed a few rebounds, a blocked shot or two and dunks that were replayed 4-5 times. He was really good at finishing alley-oops but then again so was Aaron White. Bad video that only showcases that he could win a dunk contest IMO.
Yeah, because extreme athleticism like he showed in the video has never translated over to other parts of the game...Obviously the video didn't show you everything but if you don't come away from it thinking that guy is going to be one of the better players in the country I'm thinking you're being very naive. Also he's like 17 years old, he might not have post moves or a jump shot yet, but they will likely come. He hasn't probably needed them yet.
No doubt, but this video is filled with what appears to be his high school competition. His school enrollment is 450, which is very small by Iowa standards so I can't imagine the competition he faced on the video is very good.
You can certainly see how quick and athletic he is with the ball and I understand that translates well to AAU where he continues to dominate kids who are closer to his skill level.
The video reminds me of playing against my little brother and his friends. Just too easy!
I'm sure he will be an amazing basketball player but the video does him an injustice by showing nothing but dunks, and against players 6'0" or less. the defenders don't slide their feet at all, they just reach. His game looks like a more athletic Tyler Cook which is impressive in itself.
This kid is drastically better than Tyler Cook, ask Joe Wieskamp. He played with him in Indianapolis freshman year. Wieskamp said he's unguardable, can score from all 3 levels, and just stronger & more athletic than everyone else. He's a one and done lottery pick much like Jaylen Brown.
If I'm reading things right, the enrollment figure is 3k-12, which I think is preschool (3k being 3 year old preschool). That means the school would be about the same size as a Class 1A school in Iowa. My kids school is 1A and has 455 in K-12, Spartanburg Day (where ZW attends) has at least one and possibly two preschool grades also.
So you are all concerned because it don't show him Rebounding and passing on a highlight video? WTF. Yeah pretty sure there is not a rebound he could have got that would replace the unreal dunks this guy has. This guy is one and done easily and some here are still questioning him.
