The New Orleans Pelicans are just two games into the preseason, but much like in his lone season at Duke, Zion Williamson is quickly dominating conversations about the upcoming league year.
Right now, if Zion Williamson were a hype factory, the United States would have to shut it down, because he would end up violating monopoly legislation. He’s signed huge endorsement deals, his jersey is everywhere, and you can’t watch an hour of ESPN without hearing his name.
His dimensions, at 6’6″, 285 LBS frame shouldn’t allow him to glide through the air and across the court so quickly, but questions about his bulk are easily answered when his athleticism is on display during on-court action.
