DeCourcy: Don’t Compare Zion Because He’s Unique

Mike DeCourcy argues that it’s pointless to look for a comparison for Zion Williamson because there’s not one but forgive him for asking a bunch of people anyway.

The guy we agree with most is Fran Fraschilla, who compares him to Shaquille O’ Neal.

We’ve had a similar thought - take a young Shaquille O’ Neal, before he got ridiculously heavy, knock off about 6-7 inches, give him guard skills and there you go!

Zion Williamson.

Our feeling, as we’ve said before, is that he will open basketball to athletes who never imagined playing it at a high level.
