Zion Williamson Is Destroying People At USA Basketball Camp

Zion Williamson has managed to do something very few NBA prospects have with his ability to stay in the NBA news cycle throughout his high school career. If you’re reading this, you probably know who Zion Williamson is, and you probably know who he is because you’ve been watching his viral highlight reels for the better part of four years. Hype doesn’t equal results, but he’s nearing LeBron James levels of fame for a high school athlete. Nearing.

The Zion Williamson hype took another leap on Sunday when highlights dropped from his appearance at the USA Men’s Jr. National Team mini-camp.

USA Basketball brought in some of the best young players in the country, and Williamson did what Williamson does, block everything and dunk on everyone. If I told you he did both in the span of 15 seconds, would that be something you’d be interested in? Cause he did that (h/t Overtime).

It looks like Williamson put on a bit of weight since his last reel, and for good reason. Scout.com caught up with Williamson at USA Basketball mini-camp where he revealed that he sees himself as a point-forward.

“I see myself as a point-forward. I can play the two through the four. It’s just whatever the team needs from me at that time. If they need me to play two, I’ll play two. If they need me to play three, I’ll play three. If they need me to play four, I’ll play four.” Shooting guard? Maybe not. Point forward, though? That sounds about right.

USA Basketball uploaded a few more clips from camp on their official Twitter page, so here’s more Zion. Crossover, jump stop, dunk.

If you’re a college basketball fan praying Williamson will commit to your favorite school, you’re in luck. He hasn’t made his decision yet. He’s been to Kansas and is in the process of scheduling visits to both Kentucky and Duke, along with a few more schools he hasn’t revealed yet. Williamson is targeting December for when he wants to make his final decision but has no problem delaying it further if nothing feels right. When you’re a top-5 recruit, you have that luxury.

And if you’re starving for more USA Men’s Jr. National Team mini-camp, you can catch an archive of their practice live-stream below.
