'What an animal': College freak's new measurements send NBA world mad
Fans of the NBA are going wild after one of the America’s top colleges listed future basketball superstar Zion Williamson’s latest height and weight measurements.
Zion Williamson, an 18-year-old freak of nature, who’s already dominated the nation at high school level, has stunned with his official recordings of 6-foot-7 and 285-pounds or 130 kilograms.
Incredibly, that puts the teenager just one kilogram shy of the heaviest player in the NBA, 7-foot-3 Pistons center Boban Marjanović.
Just to make the prospect even scarier for opposing colleges, Williamson has a vertical leap of 40 inches, or just over one metre.

Just in case Williamson’s measurements weren’t ridiculous enough, the 18-year-old freak is somehow the third ranked recruit on his team at Duke, behind two other young superstars who are more than likely to be picked in the top five of the NBA Draft.
