Zion From page Bl was not able to see much film on Luke outside ofthe highlight reels on the In ternet that showcased his flashy handle and ability to finish at the rim. Being such a young player when drafted, cou pled with the fact he was coming over from Europe and the lack of top shelf athleticism, I thought he would be a good player that would be a good role play er and stay in the league for a decade or more. He was also not a great three- point shooter, which I also thought would hinder him in the league. Boy, was I way off on that assessment! Not only has Luka established him self as one of the top five or six players in the game, he is looking like a peren nial MVP candidate that could win multiple cham pionships if put in the right position. The thing that impress es me the most about the kid is that he is not afraid of any moment that is pre sented to him. He is not afraid to take the big shot in the final moments of the game, nor is he afraid to play against the best of the best in the league. As a rookie, Doncic showed me that he was ready for primetime and made me eat my words. He averaged 21 ppg., 7.8 rbs., and 6 ast. Those are some impressive numbers, especially coming from a 19-year-old foreign player. He showed me that he did not need elite speed, ath leticism or shooting to be a good player in the league. Over the past season and a half, he has just Wrf hist . fohliDt Ing; Thank God for 39 Years hi Business tat Control. Termite Inspections FHA Sf VA Reports .

It’s hard to believe that Doncic just turned 22 on Feb. 28. He is not even close to reach ing his full potential and that should scare the rest of the NBA. Recently, I heard Ste phen A. Smith say that Doncic reminds him of Larry Bird. I would have to disagree with that state ment. While parts of their games are similar, Doncic reminds me more of Paul Pierce than Bird. I think Doncic has a higher ceil ing than Pierce and when his career is over, he could be one of the all-time greats. Williamson was an internet sensation years before he even put on an NBA jersey. His mon strous dunks were all across the internet while he was still in high school. The talk began then about what type of player he would be in the NBA. His one year of col lege at Duke, which was cut short due to injury, did nothing but give even more hype to Williamson. Of course, he was taken number one overall in the 2019 NBA draft. He did not start the season play ing as he was recovering from injury and the New Orleans Pelicans wanted to make sure he was 100 percent healthy before en tering him into the starting lineup. He drew comparisons to Charles Barkley, Shawn Kemp, Blake Griffin and Dominique Wilkins. The thing about Zion is that he is similar to those players, yet something about his game is different as well. I think he can, and will, become more than just a dunker. Williamson only played in 24 games as a rookie, although he made an immediate splash once he arrived. I anticipated he would put up good num bers as a rookie solely based on his superhuman athleticism, leaping abil ity and quickness for his size. What I didn’t expect was how easy the game came to him. He averaged 22.5 ppg and 6.3 ast. in his rookie season. Zion has improved this year to average 25.5 ppg and 7.2 ast. so far this year and earned his first All-Star appearance. Like Doncic, Williamson is not even entering his prime and is already one of the best players in the league. The only concern I have about Williamson is if his body can hold up year after year at that size. At 6’7 and 284 lbs., Wil liamson is one of the big gest players in the league. He has the weight of a seven-footer, but is not as tall. If he remains healthy, the sky’s the limit. I will never be correct on all my predictions, but those were two of the most misguided assessments I have made recently. I am man enough to admit when I am wrong and when it comes to these two players, I am glad I was because they are a joy to watch. I can’t wait to see how both players develop their games and add to their offensive rep ertoire. Five years from now, they will be the faces of the NBA, along with a few others.
