RJ Barrett Reminding He's More Than CBB's Best-Ever Wingman Sans Zion Williamson

Zion Williamson is a legend.

After highlight-reel dunks as a high schooler attracted a massive following, Williamson has become the featured attraction at Duke. No matter what happens during the rest of the 2018-19 men's college basketball season, he's solidified a place in the sport's history.

Because of Williamson's impact, RJ Barrett had found himself overshadowed by the physical and mythical presence of Zion.

Until the shoe-exploding knee injury against North Carolina on Feb. 21, that is.

Yes, Barrett has garnered his fair share of headlines. He plays nearly 35 minutes every night for one of the nation's best teams.
