He's no LeBron, KD, or Kobe, like everyone seems to be saying. Won't be a generational player at the next level. He looks great charging through other 18 year olds who can't remember defensive set assignments.
You could say this about literally every college player that looks great against other college players. Zion's freshman stats are for all intents and purposes the same as KD's, but his usage is lower and his efficiency is higher. He's also a better defender then KD was in college or for much of his NBA career. Hard to compare Lebron or Kobe to Zion since they didn't play in college, but Kobe wasn't elite his first couple years and Lebron is a top 3 player of all time, so I don't know what argument you're really trying to make.
