Duke's Zion Williamson Put On 100 Pounds Over Two Years In High School?

Duke freshman Zion Williamson is a beast and will continue to beast out when he gets to the NBA most likely next year. He shared with GQ the crazy growth spurt he went through in high school...

“I didn’t pick up all this weight until junior year. Freshman year, I was small. I was 6’3?, 175—like, I was small. And over the course of about two years I picked up a hundred pounds. I mean, I wouldn’t look at myself and go, ‘Wow, I’m 250!’ I wouldn’t know I was 250 until I stepped on the scale, and then I’m like, ‘Oh. I’m 250? I don’t feel 250. I don’t feel slow.’ Like, with all that weight just came more athleticism and finding myself able to do new things. People always say you have to grow into your body, but for me, it wasn’t even growing into my body—the more weight came, it didn’t phase me. It made me faster, stronger. It helped me become a more versatile player.”

His game now looks like this: 22.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.9 blocks per game while shooting 68.3 percent from the field. Growth spurt away, buddy.
