Spring Story Starter: Zion Williamson
One of the teams that the HoopSeen staff has begun to know very well is the South Carolina Hornets. With a lot of very talented players including 2017 stud Devontae Shuler, another guy really caught our eyes and started his story this spring.
That guy is 2018 Spartanburg Day (SC) wing Zion Williamson.
Williamson is a lengthy 6-foot-4 lefty wing who looks a little bit unassuming when he steps onto the floor. But can he ever turn it on when it’s game time. A big time offensive threat, Williamson has a fantastic ability to get to the rim, where he can show off some explosive athleticism and finish well above the iron. He also gave us glimpses of this shooting ability, proving he can shoot it over zone defenses from long range. Overall, Williamson is a flat out bucket-getter.
Still a youngster in the class of 2018, Williamson has heard from local school Wofford. However, both high major and mid major coaches should keep an eye on his development, as his ceiling is higher than most in the class of 2018. Do not be surprised if his name is continued to be repeated among hoop circles.
