Player Zion Williamson

In the half that I watched, he was not good last night. I think he was something like 0-5 at the rim and 0-4 from the line when I quit watching.

He finished 5-10. Even when he starts bad, he never finishes under 50%. Well, not never. But I'm pretty sure you could count on one hand the number of games he shot under 50% in his last full season.

3-12 from the FT line isn't great though. But to be fair, he did go 5-5 in the last game.

The crazy thing about this clip is that Isaiah Stewart is one of the scariest monsters on the planet, and Zion just forearm chops him out of the air like he's nothing.

Zion only went 3-7 tonight and had four turnovers. However, he also had nine rebounds, five assists, a steal, and a block in just 24 minutes. He was a +25 in a game the Pelicans won by 14.

Trey Murphy looked amazing. He went 7-10 from three and had 27 points. The sooner they can get to lineups with Zion and Murphy as the front court the better.

Pelicans’ Zion Williamson on his NBA journey: ‘I was in dark places at times’ - Sports Illustrated

After a broken foot erased his entire season, Williamson was lost, wondering if he’d ever play basketball again. But the Pelicans’ 22-year-old phenom is ready to show the world what he’s made of.

So of course he rolled his ankle tonight. I'm pretty sure it's nothing, but I have PTSD at this point.

JFC he's huge.

The bottle in front of him at first glance looked like one of those plastic bear-shaped bottles they sell honey in.

After all the fat shaming, I think it demonstrates real courage for Zion to drink straight honey at a press conference.

Beat me to posting this. Dude is incredible. When aliens are confirmed as real, I fully believe he'll be the first athlete confirmed to be an alien. It just makes no sense how he's able to move so fluidly at that size.

He had an amazing game. Look at how many times he was basically going 1-on-4

I wonder what Zion's 40 time is? He seems faster than everyone on the court.

 

[rome8180]

The media honestly hasn't been talking about him this year. I bet that starts after this game. Signature performance against a good team.

Last night really was a Duke porn night, huh? I'm looking at some of the stat lines.

This picture is quite evocative. OG is like what the fuck we supposed to do, Scottie Barnes is a deep pit of depression, Pascal is in so much awe he temporarily forgot which team he was playing for, and Thaddeus Young has been rendered cross-eyed.

Among the dozens of ways he seems to routinely defy physics the one that strikes me the most about his play in the league is how he finds seams. Jamming the widest body in the NBA through the six inches of space between two defenders without scattering them like bowling pins is surreal to watch.
