Great news for Zion Williamson fans. In his interview today he says he feels great, is "moving faster and jumping higher." Hard to believe but he seems positive and excited for the season. I can't wait to see him throwing down some monster dunks and bullying the rest of the NBA. He's the first player since Shaq that I feel is completely unstoppable in the paint and the most exciting dunker I've seen since Shawn Kemp.

Only if he stays healthy. I don't want to put hype on him at the early stage since being sidelined for too long because of an injury at a young age seems not a good sign of becoming a well-established player in the future. He is so athletic but because his body built is not blending well with his athleticism, there's seems to an incompatibility in his movements.

If I remember correctly, Joel Embiid is also sidelined for a long because of his injury in his early years. But he continues to make good progress after that and now becomes one of the best NBA players today. I hope Zion next season will now start to create a noise in the league and will stay healthy the whole season.

He looks leaner now compared to his first year in NBA. Big thanks to that weight limit quote in his contract. I think that is a big help in his problems and should be fitter and should stay healthy this season. He has been away from the game for so long so he should ease his way in. We are still to see his full potential and hopefully, like Embiid, he is already past his injury-prone years. The Pelicans have put their trust that he will be able to stick to his diet and training and he will be healthy or that big contract will be wasted. Hopefully, he can carry the Pelicans to higher finish this year.
