You need to witness Zion Williamson in person to fully understand what it is that makes him the most exciting high school basketball player in America. Really, we could’ve ended that sentence after the first eight words: You need to witness Zion Williamson in person.

To witness Zion Williamson in person, to be close enough to hear his sneakers squeak, is to practice holding your breath — and bracing for impact — for the better part of an hour. It is to see a 6-foot-7, 250-ish-pound teenager defy both gravity and whatever preconceived notions you had about the fluidity of a body built to play defensive end in the NFL. It is to test how quickly one can retrieve a cell phone, frame a video and press record before he does something viral.

“When I go back and watch the film, I see all the phones go up in the crowd,” said Sharonda Sampson, Zion’s mother and an assistant coach for his AAU team. “The crowd, he feeds off that. He loves that. That’s him.”

The good part is the Cats have very good chance to sign him.

Williamson and 5-star 2018 point guard Immanuel Quickley told the world last week that they’ve been plotting to play together in college — and Quickley has made no secret that the Wildcats are his leader. You need to witness Zion Williamson in person, and Big Blue Nation might get that chance for an entire season.

“It would be a huge deal,” Meyer said, “and I kind of expect it.”

Brace yourselves, Lexington. You really do have to see this to believe it.
