Key player for the New Orleans Pelicans
Zion Williamson is, at the same time, its great unknown and its great positive key Pelicans. In three NBA seasons, the former Duke player played 85 matches out of 226 possible and the main reason for this was injuries. His great hope New Orleans He has been an asterisk so far, an unstoppable player and capable of putting up excellent numbers, but also someone prone to physical problems and not in the best possible environment.
With all of this in mind, there’s no doubt that Shion is the Pels’ most important signing this season. His return not only clears the black cloud that has crossed the franchise’s sky, but adds to a young team a piece that when healthy is unbeatable. In his senior year Williamson averaged 20.3 points in the paint per game, the highest data since the era of his domain Shaquille O’Neal (2002). A juncture that makes the 22-year-old a key factor when you think about a game with the Pelicans.
On the other hand, Sion will return to the pitches with one of the players who perform best in the midfields, CJ McCollum, with whom he is expected to form a great tandem. The horizon looks bright for Williamson, and that’s great news for the Pelicans.
The story ahead for the New Orleans Pelicans in 2022-2023
The Pelicans were one of the shutout teams last year. David Griffin made the necessary changes and succeeded in leading the team to Playoffs after three empty seasons. Not only that, but they seriously embarrassed some Phoenix Sans which came from winning 78% of their Regular Phase matches. However, all of that is in the past and nothing they didn’t do last season means they can do it this season.
New Orleans made a significant investment this offseason by extending Williamson and McCollum, a sensible move but not without risk. The story that follows for those in Louisiana is if he will be able to take the necessary step forward from an eternal task in a settled group in the noble zone of the West.
To do that they need to solidify their defensive performance, something that Herb Jones, one of his sensations rookies pass, as well as what Nance, Williamson or Alvarado can add.
