Class of 2018 SF Zion Williamson (SC) to Duke

[W'boro'Cuse315]

LaMelo is a dollar store version of Kobe. Can't wait to see him flop at UCLA.

I actually feel for LiAngelo, who will be a frosh at UCLA this year. He has nowhere near the talent of his brothers & is really not at all boisterous in the media (I think the Dad realizes this & doesn't hype him as much) but will have to follow Lonzo and all the unrealistic expectations/dislike that comes with it. I've watched 3 full games from this year & am honestly not convinced he's even a Pac 12 caliber player, let alone UCLA caliber.

Neither him nor LaMelo is really a high D1 caliber player. They're both going to get eaten alive because of their dad. If you were playing against them, you play even harder because you want the bragging rights.

Plus they have to play in those ridiculously crappy Big Baller sneakers. Might as well strap bricks to their feet.

My Dad told me big balls where a curse. Gravity only takes that much less time to impact it's will on the sack.

LaMelo will be good, for sure a high D1 guy. Think he's underrated at this point because so many people want them to fail because of Poppa Ball.

Agreed. The media isn't helping. People need to separate the kids from the father. I think Lonzo is going to be great.

I haven't seen much of the other two, but there's no way you could watch a UCLA game last season and not see how special a player Lonzo is. His dad makes it very difficult to like him, but the kid can flat out play.

Yeah, I honestly think he could potentially be a better PG prospect in the NBA than Lonzo, but that's mainly because I don't really think Lonzo is a PG in the NBA.

Calls out Zion like it's nothing...

Holy crap

 

[sdcuseguy]

Holy crap

It is absolutely absurd. Duke gets the #1,#2,#3 and #10 guys in the country. All indications was this kid was going to Clemson. Hard to beat a team that has all superstars on it with a great coach. GO ORANGE!

Another one that can't choose his own path. Cal is losing his touch.

Seriously how the hell aren't the feds not investigating Dook and UK. They are top two dirtiest schools in college b-ball right now.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Holy crap

Duke must be the only elite school not worried about being caught.

 

[jordville]

Holy crap

Right?! I actually thought this kid might stay in SC and go to Clemson.

 

[Gotothehole]

And we can't get one thsee guys? Let open our heart' and check books !!

How is this possible? In a 2-year span, Duke has gotten:

Lance Armstrong theory.

You don't win seven straight tour de Frances because you practice harder than everyone else...
