It's not every day someone can praise Duke star Zion Williamson and get a shot in at basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, but Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim found a way following his team's 95-91 overtime victory over the Blue Devils on Monday.
"He's like Charles Barkley was, except he can shoot," Boeheim said of the freshman, per Luke DeCock of the News & Observer. "And he's not as fat."
Williamson put up Barkley-like numbers during the loss with 35 points and 10 rebounds on 12-of-20 shooting from the field, but it wasn't enough to counter the Orange's balanced attack.
