In what was another Duke Blue Devils blowout, F Zion Williamson had a very efficient game. 

The Knicks potential draft target shot 7-for-11 form the field and 6-of-10 from the charity stripe to collect 20 points. He also had eight rebounds, four assists, one block, and two steals in the 91-58 win over Yale as well.

R.J. Barrett, another draft target for New York, dropped a game-high 30 points to go along with seven boards and another game-high six assists. Cam Reddish, despite a tough day shooting, had 10 points as well.

Williamson's performance was congruent with his season statistics, where he is averaging 20.4 points per game with nine rebounds, 2.1 steals, and 2.1 blocks.

And as he always does, the 18-year-old displayed his athleticism with this catch and slam.
