Los Angeles Lakers: Who should LeBron James get to join him in Space Jam 2
At Small Forward from Salisbury, North Carolina, Standing 6 Foot 7, Zion Williamson!
What can be said about the Duke phenom that hasn’t already been said? Not since LeBron James has there been this much hype around a prospect who hasn’t played a single second in the NBA.
Zion Williamson has dominated the competition in college. You would think that with highly touted freshmen and future lottery picks RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish not only in his draft class but on the same team that Zion would be facing stiff competition to stand out.
Not only has Zion stood out, but he has also single handily taken over the college game and is box office every time he steps on the floor. To put it into perspective, Zion’s college games received higher ratings then most if not all NBA games played on the same night.
He is undoubtedly going to be the number one pick in the NBA draft this summer and it’s easy to see why. With highlight reel dunks, breathtaking athleticism and an ability to score in transition not see since LeBron James entered the league, Zion has the potential to the next big superstar in the NBA.
Zion’s game would be similar to that of Larry Johnson so he would be an ideal fit in the Tune Squad’s starting 5.
Before anyone says it, yes I know Zion is a power forward but in this scenario he is my small forward. The original Space Jam had two Centers, two power forwards and a point guard, so we can bend the rules as well.
