Pelicans' Zion Williamson 'looks amazing'
New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson 'looks amazing' according to teammate Josh Hart, and 'got on the court every day' during the quarantine.
Zion has reportedly been taking his physical fitness seriously during the hiatus, and those around him have taken notice. Hart added that Zion's shot looked 'better than it has in a while.' The NBA allowed Zion to continue rehabbing at the Pelicans facility during the shutdown, and his availability when the season resumes will be paramount to the team's success.
Though he has only played in 19 NBA games, Zion is already well on his way to becoming a star in the league. Despite recovering from knee surgery, he has averaged 23.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game this season. The Pelicans have been an entirely different team with Zion on the court.
