Recently, former Knick Charles Oakley caused a stir by saying that New York’s Julius Randle is a better version of Zion Williamson.
Former NBA star Antonio Daniels says (politely) that it’s a ridiculous comparison because they are very different players and also because Randle has been in the league since 2014 and played over 400 games while Williamson, due to injury and Covid, is essentially in an extended rookie season.
His colleague argues that you’ll be able to stop Zion if he makes it to the playoffs, to which we have to say, well, not if his teammates can respond.
