Widely expected to be the first player off the board in the 2019 NBA draft, former Duke star Zion Williamson took a page out of a former No. 1 pick's book when it came to his draft-day suit.

The 6'7", 285-pound Williamson showed up to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, on Thursday wearing an all-white suit:

One couldn't help but notice the similarities between Williamson's suit and the one LeBron James wore to the 2003 NBA draft:

Zion went white on white for draft night. Just like LeBron. https://t.co/hufQiecsoZ

Zion Williamson with his more modern off-white draft night suit, can only be compared to one man: LeBron James. 🤔🤔🤔 https://t.co/9fZNNAcnlo

Williamson did not mention James as an inspiration for the suit. Rather, the 18-year-old said he was told the suit would "pop" like his game:

It won't be long now before Williamson will get to "pop" as he walks across the Barclays Center stage.
