It turns out Zion Williamson is indeed the real deal.
After missing the first three months of the season with a knee injury, the most-hyped rookie since LeBron James is playing like exactly that.
In 15 games, Williamson is playing 28.9 minutes per game and averaging 24.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game while shooting 59.3 percent from the field. Over his last seven games, Williamson has averaged 29.1 points per game while shooting 61 percent from the field.
Spoiler: I don’t think Zion is out of shape.
The 19-year-old has taken the NBA by storm, even if it took longer than we hoped.
