Duke's Zion Williamson Says He Gained 100 Pounds in 2 Years During High School

Duke Blue Devils freshman sensation Zion Williamson said he gained 100 pounds across two years in high school, and he was surprised it didn't cause him to lose any of his athleticism.

On Wednesday, Devin Gordon of GQ provided comments from the Naismith College Player of the Year favorite about his rapid growth during his time atSpartanburgDay School in South Carolina:

"I didn't pick up all this weight until junior year. Freshman year, I was small. I was 6'3", 175—like, I was small. And over the course of about two years I picked up a hundred pounds.
