“He was himself,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said of Williamson’s return. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim went a step further, calling Williamson a “different player” than he’s ever seen in his 50 years of coaching college basketball. He said Williamson is a stronger version of Charles Barkley and unstoppable in the low post. Williamson said he wasn’t trying to make a statement on his initial dunk, but only trying to help his team set the tone on defence. “I wanted to be out there every game,” Williamson said.
