Zion Williamson is among the brightest young talents in the league. Undoubtedly, Zion will be one of the future faces of the league. What the 21-year-old phenom has achieved in his first two years in the league, has been done by a few very set of all-time greats.
Averaging 27 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists on an outstanding 61.1% shooting from the field, Zion proved all his haters and naysayers wrong this past season. And he dominated the paint displaying his incredibly deep offensive arsenal. As fans already know, “Zanos” has a flashy dunk package, and his touch around the bucket is truly second to none.
The Pelicans truly got an outstanding talent in Zion with their #1 pick of the 2019 Draft. However, Williamson does have one flaw. Weighing 284 pounds, the 6-foot-7 prodigy is one of the heaviest forwards in the league. Being overweight comes the risk of several career-ending injuries.
