You can’t deny God given talent! Hello Zion!
I have been hearing about Duke University’s Phenom Zion Williamson for awhile now and I figured I would dedicate some time to talking about him and my thoughts on his future! To only be a freshman forward and to average almost 30 p.p.g (points per game) night in and night out is something special. You know you are something to watch when celebrities and even President Obama stop by to watch you play. From what I have seen and read, Zion comes from a humble family who cheer him on and support his dreams.
We all know Zion is NBA bound, but as a freshman you never know how much potential someone has just by projecting them to leave school after their first year. There have been so many talks by analysts, fans, coaches, NBA players all giving their thoughts that he should come out and enter the draft. or even sit the rest of the season and not play. I think he should still continue to play while he can, his successes will come regardless of how outsiders feel. He has been gifted the talent to play a game I love so much and should be able to play as long as he can. Zion has a bright future ahead! Zion has been projected the #1 overall 2019 draft choice for a team, do you think cutting himself short 3 more years of education and playing time to improve and get better would be beneficial?
The NBA is a business, a very lucrative business but can come with a cost. For example take John Wall, most people know John played for Kentucky for one year and left school for the draft. He was drafted #1 overall by the Washington Wizards and has had some explosive years. The cost of coming out of school early for him has unfortunately in the last few years or so injuries, playoff losses, and constant rebuilding of a team. We can always ask what if? but there is no point in doing that lol. We can’t deny the success of the Wall Star,but is the money worth all the injuries and possible damage to your body long term. Zion has the body of Lebron James, so he definitely needs to take care of his body as we saw Feb.21 he left the game with a real bad knee sprain and exploding shoe. Again I ask, is potential worth bodily, long-term injury?
I am not saying this will tarnish all the great things Zion has done or will do but I would rather him take it easy and be 100% than risking further injury. Only time will tell what lies ahead for Zion’s future, which I know will be amazing things. I hope he listens to his heart and not the outside media. He at the end of the day knows what is best for him! Go Zion Go! I can’t wait until he is back on the court after his injury and playing again. He is definitely a player I will be watching! Get well soon 🙂
Zion Williamson’s future is bright….I am excited and I know Coach K has a great one on his hands.
