Zion Williamson keeps evolving for the New Orleans Pelicans

Zion Williamson grazed perfection in the New Orleans Pelicans 128-123 win against the Sacramento Kings, scoring 31 points on 13-of-15 shooting, not missing a single free throw, and being decisive down the stretch for his team.

By now, most of us have probably seen his mind-bending, gravity-defying reverse layup over Marvin Bagley III. It’s a mere glimpse of Williamson’s generational athleticism, which was on full display over his 35 minutes in Sacramento, but it also speaks to Williamson’s expanded offensive role over the last two games in California.
