Williamson’s rookie season will be one of the most highly scrutinized in recent memory despite his selection by New Orleans, one of the league’s smaller markets. At 6-7, 285 pounds and a freakish athlete, there’s never been someone quite like Zion. His free-throw shooting won’t be great, and he probably won’t have a good three-point stroke this early in his career, but expect him to finish at a high-end rate any time he’s near the basket, while anticipating and grabbing a ton of rebounds and providing solid defensive stats. Even in Year 1, Williamson should be a fantasy asset.
