Zion Williamson ready to kick things into gear with New Orleans Pelicans
Speaking during Sunday’s media availability, Zion Williamson assured everyone that he was ready to operate at full potential for the New Orleans Pelicans. As per ESPN’s Andrew Lopez, Zion explained:
Zion Williamson only played 24 games for New Orleans Pelicans last year but averaged 22.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. If Zion manages the usual sophomore leap that most stars do, expect him to bully opponents all season long.
Zion Williamson surprised by how strong Steven Adams is
In one of the major trades of this offseason, the New Orleans Pelicans acquired Steven Adams from OKC Thunder. The Kiwi is known for his physical presence inside the paint and is expected to help Zion Williamson with interior offense. Speaking on Adams, Zion said:
In Steven Adams and Zion Williamson, the New Orleans Pelicans arguably have the strongest frontcourt in the entire NBA. Not amongst the most versatile scorers, Adams is great at offensive rebounding and setting screens. He will be hoping to open up spaces for Zion by attracting more attention towards himself.
