2.  Zion Williamson

Number two on this list, but easily remaining the number one prospect, Williamson continues to will Duke to more wins.  Zion is yet to disappoint really, consistently clicking on all cylinders. He is posting 23 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 assists a game to this point. He shoots about 70% from the field and 80% from inside the arc. Zion scores at will, and never has his type of athleticism, bounce and flair been seen in a body as massive as his (6-foot-7, 285 pounds).

In the two tournament games so far, he is averaging 28.5 points and 7 rebounds, shooting exceptionally well from the field and getting buckets on demand.

There has not been a bigger name in college basketball. Zion has had the entire country on notice, and has lived up to the hype. Undoubtedly the best option, he would fill a hole at power forward for the Suns, while bringing elite athleticism and aggression to fit the Suns’ system.  Running the floor would be seriously fun with him on board.
