NBA Rumors: Zion Williamson Picks CAA Sports to Represent Him
NBA free agency is only one month away, and plenty of speculation is already building about where some of the biggest stars will land this offseason.
Superstars like Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and Kyrie Irving will dominate free agent talks this summer. But plenty of other players could move around as teams plan to put together a championship-caliber roster for next season. Several teams also have max contract slots which could bring several high-profile players to new cities next season.
While everyone wonders what will unfold during free agency, the NBA world is already on the edge of its seat waiting to see which team will snag projected first pick Zion Williamson. CAA Sports announced on Thursday that it will represent the Duke phenom.
