#1 Zion Williamson

Zion Williamson is a physical specimen like none other.
Zion Williamson is a physical specimen like none other.

Weighing at 285 pounds and standing at 6-foot-6, the 18-year-old is an overwhelming favourite, who sports a massive framework of a body and an unmatched agility to go with it. Zion has been at the forefront of Draft talks since times immemorial. Coming off a memorable season at Duke, he is projected to be the No.1 overall pick (to be picked by the Pelicans) in this year's draft. He has been arguably the most impactful and dominant one-and-done college players ever.

Although his superhuman structure does pose questions over his conditioning in the long run, Williamson is well coordinated for someone his body type. Apart from being absolutely destructive in transition and in any half court set the coaches plan on running with him, Zion also holds the weapons to guard to all five positions when needed.

His above-the-rim expertise coupled with court vision during transition runs make him a nightmare for any defensive scheme by the opposition. He has the physique to manhandle defenders in the paint and the vertical to crash the boards at will.
