Zion Williamson continues to excel in his rookie season and could lead New Orleans Pelicans to the playoffs
When New Orleans Pelicans drafted Zion Williamson with the first overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, a lot was expected from the teenager. However, his appearances initially were limited only to preseason games. An injury in the preseason saw him miss the start of the season. The Pelicans paid great attention to his rehabilitation process.
When Zion eventually recovered from his injury, his NBA start met the high expectations. 14 games into his NBA career, Williamson is averaging 23.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists per game. He shot 59.3 percent from two-point field goals and 41.7 percent from beyond the arc.
