Duke Basketball: Zion Williamson should dictate his NBA destination

As the most uniquely talented prospect in the history of the game, former Duke basketball freakshow Zion Williamson holds so many cards — all of them — that he doesn’t have to allow ping-pong balls to decide his fate.

However, before the NBA holds its draft lottery on Tuesday night — so as not to come across as a total jerk to fans of whatever franchise sees the ping-pong balls bounce in its favor — the 6-foot-7, 285-pound Mars native and presumptive No. 1 overall pick could go ahead and announce he will only play for the franchise he decides is his best fit.
