Rookie Zion Williamson of the New Orleans Pelicans often gets compared to players like LeBron James and Charles Barkley.
This is largely due to physical characteristics, as Zion’s game doesn’t really resemble either one yet, though he occasionally rumbles into the lane like Sir Charles.
Zion Williamson’s combination of raw power, leaping ability and touch around the rim puts him in a class all his own, as there have rarely been players so big and strong who could also jump out of the gym, not even Barkley.
Zion is just 19-years-old and his game is still very raw, even though he averaged 23.
