5 Prospects who could be in the top 5 picks in the 2019 NBA Draft

#2 Zion Williamson

Height: 6’7, Position: Power Forward, Weight: 250 Lbs, Team: Duke Blue Devils

Zion Williamson was perhaps the most talked about high school basketball player since LeBron James. This is largely because a player of Zion’s gifts is not found often. He is an abnormal mix of size and athleticism and most scouts are in awe of how a man of Zion’s size managed to break Duke’s vertical leap record during the team’s combine testing session.

He has the technical skills to go along with his physical talents as well and is very intelligent at using his size to dominate in the paint. He needs to improve his shooting but there are signs that he is getting better based on evidence from Duke’s pre-season tour in Canada.

Zion has the potential to become an elite NBA rebounder and many expect him to become a double-double machine in the NBA someday. How he manages the hype surrounding him is something that remains to be seen, but expect to be hearing Zion Williamson’s name more than once in the coming months leading up to the draft.
