“Zion Williamson is the better than Luka Doncic!”: Skip Bayless claims Pelicans star should be much higher up on the 'players under 25' list

Zion Williamson is one of the NBA’s future superstars. In fact, Skip Bayless believes he is even better than Luka Doncic!

The New Orleans Pelicans used the first overall pick in 2019 to draft the highly rated Zion Williamson. The big man from Duke was the most highly rated prospect since LeBron James.

Zion was and is a freak of nature. A physical specimen that can dominate anyone in the paint with his size, speed, and athleticism.

In his first three seasons in the NBA, Williamson has only played 85 games, missing a total of 161 games. Nevertheless, he is currently averaging close to 26 points, three assists, and seven rebounds per game!

Zion has been great, but Skip Bayless believes he is the best player under the age of 25. Even putting him ahead of Luka Doncic.

Recently, NBA executives around the league voted for the best players under the age of 25. The likes of Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum, Ja Morant, and Zion Williamson made the list, with Luka Magic getting the No.1 spot.

However, as with all lists, there are those with differing opinions. One such person is Undisputed’s Skip Bayless, who had an interesting take.

Skip claims that a healthy Zion Williamson should be first on the list. Even going so far as to say that he dominates the game in ways that Doncic cannot!


It truly is a hard take from Skip Bayless. Zion is a future superstar, but Luka Doncic has been on an MVP level ever since he entered the league.
