Zion Williamson Won’t Win the Rookie of the Year, And That’s Okay

Zion Williamson is having an interesting summer, all things considered. Not only has he only played nine minutes of preseason basketball for the New Orleans Pelicans, he has yet to step onto the court in a single game that counts (my apologies to all previous Summer League champions). He was given the best dunk rating in NBA 2K20, and it feels like every picture he’s in this summer sparks a debate about his height, weight, or even what position he’s best suited for in the NBA.

One thing people seem to agree on is the likelihood of his winning Rookie of the Year.
