When he was asked about signing a contract extension the other day, former Duke star Zion Williamson said “[o]f course. I couldn’t sign it fast enough.”

It may not be as easy for the New Orleans Pelicans.

There’s no question that Williamson is a transcendent talent. He’s just other worldly. Everyone loves to see him because you just don’t know what he might do. He’s unbelievably unique.

But his health has obviously become an issue. He’s only played 85 games in his first three seasons, which works out to just about a third of the games he could have played in.
