“It’s All-NBA, All-Star, Hall of Fame. That’s his ceiling,” JJ Redick said about Zion Williamson. “The thing with Zion is that he’s naturally obviously athletic, but naturally skilled. So when he learns sort of how to play the NBA game and think the NBA game, he does it naturally. Without even putting the thought and the preparation that we all learn.”

With the Pelicans being led by the likes of Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, and Josh Hart, the sky is the limit. We can only hope we see a healthy Zion in the lineup next season.
As of now, the biggest concern for the Pelicans is finding a Head Coach. After relieving Alvin Gentry of his duties, Tyronn Lue and Mike D’Antoni are candidates that the Pelicans are on the lookout for.
