One of the many talented players in the class of 2018, Zion Williamson has received many offers, including Arizona. Let’s take a look at what makes him a superstar.

Speechless! That is the first impression that Zion Williamson will make when watching some of his highlights. At 6-foot-8, 230 lbs and only sixteen years old, the versatility he has around the basket are simply amazing to watch. (video is courtesy of MakePlayz.com):

Williamson currently plays for Spartanburg Day High School, where he averages 31 points and 11 rebounds per game. Out of this world!

Also, he currently plays for the South Carolina Supreme Court AAU team. In a most recent AAU event, Williamson put up 47 points, including this 360 warm-up dunk that will just blow your mind!

According to VerbalCommits.com, Arizona is one of many top schools that has made an offer to Williamson. His powerful style of play and ability to play multiple positions would fit in perfectly with the Wildcats.

The way he chases down for the block, attacks the rim and throws down some powerful dunks is similar to Lebron James. Scary to think that Williamson is only still a junior in high school and the amount potential he has.

Besides his athleticism, it’s his “don’t mess with me” attitude on the court that makes him stand out above the rest. That mental approach translates to pure intimidation that he projects into his opponents. On the college and professional level, that will come in handy.

Born and raised in Tucson, AZ. Absolutely love watching Arizona Wildcats basketball. Been a fan for as long as I can remember. Also, enjoy all other Arizona Wildcat sports, including Tucson Roadrunners hockey (which I would highly recommend checking out). Graduated from the University of Arizona in 2004 with a Bachelors in Media Arts. Went on to work in television production for several years, which was certainly enjoyable. When I am not watching sports, I enjoy watching shows on Netflix as well as road cycling. Passion would be a great way to describe my perspective on Arizona Wildcat sports. Bear Down!
