Zion Williamson, the 2019 draft's number one overall selection, got his first regular season minutes today after a knee injury delayed his debut... and the world tuned in to watch.

One of the millions tuning in was Ricky Warner, a middle manager whom colleagues often compare to a "number two".

Despite being unable to run out of sight, Warner has taken aim at the former Duke star in his gone-the-early-crow assessment declaring Williamson "a bust" and "overweight".

"Look at him... Welcome to the big league, buddy. You're not in college anymore".

Williamson, on reduced minutes, finished the first half with two points, three boards and two turnovers, and is clearly easing himself into the league. That seemingly isn't an excuse for Warner though, who is fresh off claims of being able to take a game off Serena.

"Nah, he's a bust mate. Take it from me".
