Maybe? He looks a lot like Barkley at age 19/20, who also came into the NBA north of 280, and south of 6.5.

But it's Williamson's weight (285? on a marginal 6.6 frame) that is going to make him prone to back and knee injuries, I think. He's 19 and already has a history of knee ailments.

Barkley was a fun-to-watch bull in a china shop too his first few years in the league, but he wasn't an MVP until he got his body into shape (240s) in Phoenix.

Maybe Williamson will be the next Barkley, or maybe he'll be the next Oliver Miller and eat himself out of the league.
