Zion Williamson was the biggest name in college basketball this season and is one of the most hyped up players in a long time. Williamson showcased a ton of talent and athleticism while playing for the Duke Blue Devils this season and thanks to his play, he is considered as a lock to become the first overall pick in this year's NBA Entry Draft.
On this weekend's episode of LeBron James' HBO show The Shop, the Los Angeles Lakers star had high praise for the Blue Devils star, saying he was impressed with how he played and the attitude he brought to the game. At first, LeBron was skeptical of his talent in high school because of who he was playing against but over time, realized just how special he is.
"I've watched him a lot over the last year," James said. "The one thing I noticed with his one year at Duke was, his energy was infectious, man. Every possession, it seemed like he could make a difference on the outcome of the game. … He's the most talked about guy in a long time."
Williamson will find out who will most likely be drafting him on May 14th when the NBA Draft Lottery goes down. The Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New York Knicks all have a 14 percent chance of getting the first overall pick.
