Zion Williamson's Stepfather Says Former Duke Star Won't Return to College After Pelicans Won Lottery

Zion Williamson's stepfather Lee Anderson squashed any rumors regarding the former Duke phenom potentially returning to school on Wednesday.

"As far as returning to Duke, that's not something we've even considered," Anderson told ESPN Radio's Jordy Culotta and T-Bob Herbert. "We met with David Griffin and had a great conversation and are excited at the prospect of getting settled and finding a place to stay."

The Pelicans won the NBA draft lottery on Tuesday and are expected to select Williamson with the No. 1 overall pick on June 20.
