Every summer I know the song with Zion Williamson : he would have lost weight, would be ready to seriously focus on his fitness and would have never been so well prepared. Unfortunately, in the past, I have often been disappointed. The fault in particular of several injuries which prevented him from having continuity at the New Orleans Pelicans
But as the new season approaches, a question arises: what if this 2024-2025 financial year was finally the right one for the #1 pick of the 2019 NBA Draft? At the start of the preseason, the leader of the Pelicans showed interesting form.
With in particular a good impression against the Orlando Magic (106-104): 16 points on 8/11 shots, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 interceptions in 19 minutes. And even within his team, there are high hopes around him.
“Everyone on the Pelicans thinks he’s ready for a big season. A lot of that is because in previous years, at this point in training camp or early in the season, there always had an injury.
There was always something with Zion, he wasn’t up to par, he wasn’t at the same level as all his teammates in terms of his physical condition. Today, he is not getting back into shape, he is already in great shape. He looks in great shape, he’s focused, he’s ready to play.
This is a Zion Williamson we’ve never seen,” shared ESPN reporter Shams Charania.
I really want to believe it. Because Zion Williamson can change the destiny of the Pelicans. But also the landscape of the NBA if he finally lives up to his immense potential.
