Duke basketball freshman Zion Williamson couldn’t weigh 280 pounds without an appetite as legendary as his game; therefore, his teammates must dread standing behind the 6-foot-7 behemoth at any buffet.
But starting with No. 1-seed Duke’s first-round game in the NCAA Tournament against No. 16-seed North Dakota State on Friday at 7:10 p.m. (on CBS), Williamson’s teammates should take comfort from knowing that six victories would surely ensue if they ensure the big fella consistently satisfies his hunger with scoring opportunities.
Thus far this season, though, the Blue Devils have not once terrorized an opponent by having Williamson be the first option on every single possession.
