Zion Williamson is perhaps the most hyped rookie to enter the league ever, but at the very least, since LeBron James. There is plenty of excitement about what the Duke prospect will bring to the NBA, and many believe his impact will be immediate.

Paul Pierce went as far to say that Zion will make the All-Star Game as a rookie, which would be quite the impressive feat in a league with so much talent.

“This guy is going to be an All-Star in his first year,” Pierce said. “He’s going to be an MVP candidate within his first five years. I truly believe he’s that kind of talent.”
