Pelicans: Lonzo Ball and Zion Williamson could become NBA’s most deadly duo

The New Orleans Pelicans finally have Zion Williamson on the floor, which is great news for a plethora of reasons. One of the team’s first priorities, of course, is to find out which pieces fit with the rookie and which don’t; fortunately, Lonzo Ball seems like a great fit.

Importantly, the duo is super young and has a lot of room left to grow. Zion is just 19-years-old and won’t be able to legally sip an adult beverage until 2021. Lonzo Ball is 22-years-old and playing just his third season of professional basketball.

Destined to become one of the great transition basketball teams in the league by season’s end, Ball and Williamson are a great compliment for each other’s skillsets, a connection that’s already looking pretty fluid on the basketball court.
