Williamson Drawing Tons Of Attention, But Barrett Is Getting His Props Too
It’s completely understandable that Zion Williamson has drawn the most attention as Duke’s trip to Canada wraps up Sunday. No one has ever seen anyone like him. He’s huge, hugely athletic and hugely nimble.
And, as we have seen, he’s not a one-trick pony. He’s the most exciting dunker around, he’s an outstanding rebounder, and he can shoot the long shot.
More interesting than all of that, he’s also a really good passer.
So yes, he draws a lot of attention.
As we’ve seen though - queue Yoda - there is another.
Williamson is going to be a great player, but so is RJ Barrett. He just doesn’t jump out as much as the nearly cartoonish Williams, who looks like a scaled down version of the Hulk.
