Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim had some high praise for Duke star freshman Zion Williamson following the Orange's overtime upset victory over the Blue Devils on Monday night.
Boeheim compared Williamson to Charles Barkley. Except, Boeheim made sure to point out some key differences while making his assessment.
"It's hard to defend him," Beoheim said. "He's a physical specimen. He's like Charles Barkley was except he shoots better than Charles did. And he's not as fat."
Per Sports Reference, Barkley was listed at 6'6" and 252 pounds when he played at Auburn. He posted a career field-goal percentage of 62.
