The crowd at South Carolina men’s basketball’s exhibition game Sunday chanted “We want Zion.”
The only thing was, the prospect sitting just behind the Gamecocks bench was not Top-2 overall 2018 prospect Zion Williamson.
It was actually Rock Hill 2019 prospect D.J. Burns, a player 3 inches taller and reportedly nearly 40 pounds lighter. The Gamecocks offered him in June, and he holds offers from Auburn, Georgia and Oklahoma State, among others.
More than a few folks on social media assumed it was him, after Williamson’s mother said he was taking an unofficial visit to USC over the weekend.
