Ric Bucher Doesn't Think Zion Williamson Will Live Up To Superstar Billing

Ric Bucher: “This is Lonzo Ball 2.0. We’ve already made him a Hall of Famer! Is he taking the Pelicans to the playoffs?? We’re talking about him like he’s a generational player. He’s a phenomenally athletic talent, but people are way more excited about Zion Williamson, than they are about Luka Doncic.

Zion doesn’t show me the requisite tool box to say he can come in and do everything."
