The end of the tunnel is still awaited in the Zion Williamson file, which is beginning to plunge New Orleans into a toxic climate. New big accusations have just been made against the young big man of the Pelicans!
Patience has long been required, but it is now clear that he will find it very difficult to bear the comparisons he was subject to with LeBron James. Announced as a generational talent when he arrived in the NBA, Zion Williamson clearly does not know the course that was promised to him. Worse, his career in the league has turned sour in recent months.
Unavailable because of a foot injury since the start of the season, the interior of the Pelicans still questions observers about his health. Will he one day be able to remedy his physical fragility and eliminate his excess pounds? Nothing is less sure. In any case, his situation earned him great criticism and mockery, and buy from rival franchises !
Zion still dragged in the mud to the Pelicans
While his absence has continued for the past few days, Zion continues to be embroiled in unflattering hallway noise about him. The latest, delivered by Shamit Due of BourbonStreetShots, thus only push it a little more!
Zion showed up grossly overweight on Day 1 of the Summer League after being drafted, and turned on the franchise for being too cautious about his injury Knee.
He came back even bigger in the bubble, and we had to hide another injury at the request of his family.
These first attacks in the direction of the weight of Williamson do not really come as a surprise. The young big man has never displayed a food hygiene worthy of the name since his draft, and no insider report suggests that he is ready to settle this concern. At the same time, his attitude towards his teammates and his leaders would simply be appalling!
Then the guy who’s been fat all his NBA career didn’t want to show up at team workouts this offseason, ignored BI (Brandon Ingram) and (Fred) Vinson (Pels assistant coach , note) in Phoenix, was in Vegas for the Summer League but did not meet any of his teammates, and has no relationship with the front office.
A decidedly very gloomy picture painted by the New Orleans journalist, who really has nothing to reassure fans about the outcome of this soap opera. Rumors of leaving for a bigger market are intensifying, even to the point that Zanos starts feeding them. So many signals that push Shamit Due to a final murderous report for the All-Star of the Pels.
A franchise player who’s been fat or injured his entire time here, and finds a way to have less leadership than Anthony Davis. At least AD participated in team workouts. This sh*t is ridiculous.
Reading all these incriminations, one wonders if Zion Williamson will ever wear the Pelicans jersey again. The fracture seems in any case real and immense between the player and his team!
