Watch: Zion Williamson got up so high for this block
Zion Williamson threw a block party on Friday night, and Kerry Blackshear Jr was the guest of honor.
Eight minutes into Friday night’s Sweet 16 game between Duke and Virginia Tech, Williamson delivered a fierce rejection of a Blackshear shot attempt on the baseline:

Some will say that looked like a goaltend by Williamson, and it was close. I didn’t see clear evidence that the ball was going downward before the freshman got up to reject it.
Zion is just a gamer who will look to make plays whenever he can and however he can. This was the latest example.
