Throughout his foot injury, Zion Williamson was scrutinized by observers, who asked a thousand questions about his weight and his diet. The young All-Star made everyone agree during the media day, by displaying a shocking physique!
And if this season was that of the Pelicans? Like the Grizzlies last year, New Orleans could capitalize on an encouraging playoff campaign and explode to the conference podium. On paper, the workforce is in any case could not be more talented with a mixture of youth and experience, but above all several very high level All-Stars.
CJ McCollum, freshly extended with a two-year, $64 million contract, has proven since his arrival that he can be much more than just a lieutenant, and his association with Brandon Ingram has been more than interesting after the trade. deadline. Jonas Valanciunas is a solid interior, Herb Jones an exceptional defender, so we understand why the Suns had a hard time getting rid of these Pelicans.
Zion Williamson sharper than ever!
And this season, one man could change everything in the Bayou: Zion Williamson, the former Draft No. 1, back after a long foot injury. And if the concern was palpable during his absence, especially in terms of his weight, the interior reassured everyone during the media day of the franchise, by appearing before the journalists in absolutely perfect shape. It has never been so impressive!

I feel like I’m in my best shape right now. I move faster, I jump higher, I feel good.
Zion Williamson is clearly in sparkling shape and his weight issues definitely seem to be behind him. He showed up to Media Day still as muscular, with impressive arms, but much less thick than in the past. A feeling confirmed by the player, who admits to feeling more mobile and more explosive than ever, which is absolutely terrifying for the rest of the league…
With a Zion Williamson in such physical condition, the Pelicans could well dominate all the rackets in the league! And after his white season made of worries about him, the young All-Star seems ready to find his place of superstar.
