South Carolina native Zion Williamson is regarded as one of the freakiest athletes college basketball has seen in a long time. The Naismith Award recipient stands 6-foot-7 and weighs 280 pounds with above average quickness and a vertical leap over 43 inches.
Williamson is set to be the No. 1 pick in next month’s NBA draft and on path to fulfill a dream of playing in the NBA.
Back in 1989, South Carolina welcomed a phenomenal athlete in Southside High(GA) power forward Wayne ‘Buck’ Buckingham to Clemson University. Buckingham, a Bell Buckle, TN native, was a powerful 6-foot-9, 255 pound rim rattler and remains the highest ranked recruit to sign with Clemson.
