"Getting flashbacks to his days at Duke," was what Rotowire posted on the site.

Except the fellow ex-Duke Blue Devil shared nothing but high praise for Williamson.
"It was good talking to him because we were together for a while and we wanted to build something that would lead to a championship," Ingram shared via Will Guillory of The Athletic. "Just to catch up with him and see where he is in his career. I'm happy for him that he's healthy and he's on the basketball floor doing what he loves."
The NBA world often sees an injury-battered superstar. He even sustained an early March ailment that snapped his 35-game playing streak with the Pelicans.
But Ingram doesn't see an injury ravaged player.

"He's a generational talent. Nobody can do what Zion does on the basketball floor," Ingram said.
Williamson suffered an ankle injury to start the month . But that ankle looked like an afterthought on the windmill throwdown.
