Zion Williamson shall help Duke basketball flourish beyond the Coach K era.

At age 21 and entering his third season as a pro, former Duke basketball one-and-done Zion Williamson is already one of the most recognizable faces in the NBA. Much of that popularity came from his 2018-19 campaign in Durham, where the 6-foot-7, 285-pound forward played most freely on his way to amassing roughly two dozen individual awards, including the Naismith.

Now, the Zion craze is likely to take on new life across the year to come.
