Zion Williamson looked more than ready to dominate the NBA during a Monday night exhibition game against the Atlanta Hawks.
The New Orleans Pelicans star, and first overall pick in the 2019 draft, threw down two monster dunks that the defense had no chance of stopping. (RELATED: New Orleans Pelicans Pick Zion Williamson First Overall In The NBA Draft)

I don’t think anybody doubted whether or not he’d be able to jump over NBA defenses. However, if there were any critics, they’re gone now.
Watch videos of the dunks below.

Yeah, I think it’s safe to say Zion will be just fine against defenses in the NBA. Both of those dunks were absolutely huge.
They weren’t just big dunks. They were monstrous slams. They looked just like the ones he threw down on a regular basis while at Duke.

It’s going to be a ton of fun to see what Zion does going forward in the NBA. He hasn’t played a regular season game yet, and expectations are already through the roof.
Something tells me he won’t let people down at all. That young man was born to be a superstar.
