NBA drafts are typically full of over-exaggeration. Every promising draftee receives those comparisons calling them the “next someone”. Most of them fail to live up to the hype. From Andrew Wiggins being crowned Maple Jordan to Thon Maker being compared to Kevin Durant, most draft day comparisons are just mindless hyperbole. Most of them. Tomorrow night the San Antonio Spurs will face a rare player who deserves every bit of hype he’s received.
It’s not a stretch to say that we have never seen a basketball player quite like Zion Williamson.
