Think to yourself about some of the good or even great NBA players who came out of Duke University. Kyrie Irving, JJ Redick, Grant Hill, Jay Williams, Jabari Parker, and most recently Jayson Tatum. Over the last few years, Duke has had some amazing recruiting classes and have been a viable threat as a potential NCAA championship team.

Last year, outside of the defending champs in Villanova, Duke easily had the next best team in the country on paper, in terms of having a lineup that was taking the nation by storm. Trevon Duval, Grayson Allen, Gary Trent Jr., Marvin Bagley III, and Wendel Carter Jr. were all players that were nationally ranked going into college and performed at a high level while there. But I'm here to say that I think Zion Williamson may be better than all of them.

Coming from Spartanburg Day School in South Carolina, Williamson was already a nationally known player who shot up to the top of ESPN 100 ranking. Known for his high flying ability and lethal dunking ability, Williamson has always been featured on ESPN Top 10s and became a social media highlights sensation, to the point that famous rapper Drake actually owns a jersey from when Zion was still high school. Now the stage has only gotten even larger and so far, he has yet to underperform.

At 6 ft 7 in and 285 pounds, most are comparing him to a fusion between Lebron James and Shawn Kemp. Williamson has a large body frame, significant height, and the ability to play above the rim. Analysts across the country say that he is in a class of his own and that he is making a mockery of the "one and done" rule. People actually feel he should be allowed to go straight to the NBA after only three games in college. Sounds crazy to think that someone actually could get as much hype coming out of college than Lebron James did out of high school, but the numbers don't lie. The man is a beast.

In only three games, he is averaging 23.5 points per game, 10.6 rebounds per game, shooting 82 percent from the field and making at least four or five highlight-worthy plays that will just make you shoot out of your seat and question whether you just saw what you just saw. The man is absolutely ridiculous.

I know what you may be thinking, "Well it's only three games, is he really going to keep this up?" And that's a fair question to ask, as it is still a very young college basketball season and the games only get harder as you get closer to conference competition. But what you have to realize is, he is doing all this while playing alongside R.J. Barrett, who is being talked about as the potential number one overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft; and Cam Reddish and Tre Jones, both high NBA prospects and nationally ranked at their respective positions coming out of high school. This may be the very best basketball team Duke has ever had in terms of talents, and on paper, people can't even tell you definitively who the best player is.

I'm a North Carolina basketball fan, so of course, it pains me to speak so highly of a Duke player. But just go onto YouTube and type the man's name in. He is being compared to Lebron, analysts are already thinking about what NBA teams he would best fit on, and his highlights are absolutely amazing.

I hope we beat them, but as far as I'm concerned, Duke has a chance to be the first team to run the table and go undefeated throughout the entire season and the NCAA tournament. The first true undefeated season.
