Earlier this week, reports broke that the Atlanta Hawks may be interested in striking a deal for disgruntled New Orleans Pelicans power forward Zion Williamson.
Williamson, who was selected with the first pick in the 2019 draft by New Orleans, is entering his fourth season in the NBA. Last summer, he signed a five-year, $193 million rookie extension with the Pelicans.
Make no mistake: when he’s on the court, Williamson is one of the most unstoppable players in the league. With career averages of 25.8 points and 7 rebounds on 60.5% shooting from the field, there is no single defender on planet Earth who can prevent the former Duke standout from getting to the basket when he wants to.
