Zion Williamson’s Future in New Orleans: Trade Rumors Ignite Uncertainty and Speculation

Zion Williamson’s Future in New Orleans: Trade Rumors Ignite Uncertainty and Speculation

Williamson may be running fewer pick-and-rolls and posting up less frequently, but you can see the upside of Borrego’s decision in other metrics. Williamson is turning the ball over at a career-low rate. His efficiency from the floor is back at his prime-Zion levels. And his drives? “Some of his takes to the rim are unguardable,” was how an executive who recently watched Williamson described him.

None of that would matter, though, if Williamson weren’t able to remain on the floor. And it’s here where opinions once again diverge. Most of the executives and coaches Yahoo Sports spoke to outside of the Pelicans organization remained dubious. Some attribute his health to his incentive-laden contract in which his salary only becomes guaranteed if he plays a certain number of games. Others see the combination of his size and the force with which he plays as a combination destined to break his body. Others simply don’t believe one healthy season erases four injury-riddled ones.
