Dwyane Wade praised New Orleans Pelicans star rookie Zion Williamson, calling him a ‘monster’.

The legend of the Miami Heat is impressed by Williamson’s performance in the NBA since he made his debut in late January.

“Monster. Literally like watching him play in the NBA is like going back and watching highlights of him in seventh grade and college. He’s a monster,” Wade said about Williamson during an IG live session with fans on Friday.

Through the first 19 games of his NBA career, Williamson was averaging 23.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists for the Pelicans.
