Yeah, he has a lot of enthusiasm this coming season and it seems that the Pelicans are really looking to make a good run with him healthy. Only he seems to be in the fighting weight, I mean yes he can jump even with the heavier weight he got but it's better if he will slim down so that he can elevate more. Still, he is a force to reckon even if he decided to play one on one, or playing low post. So it's very exciting to see Zion back once again with latest hype and for sure, new highlights.

It also puts less strain on his legs and feet. That is the main reason his contract has weight limits stated. Pelicans do not want to risk him getting injured again because of his weight issues. That is a good move I guess since many are commenting that Zion is too big for his playstyle. He likes to be athletic but the strain on his legs and feet from those moves causes the injury. If he lessens his weight, he can do his moves without putting his health in danger.

The management observe that after some season of Zion with the team, now it's really a good challenge to this young star,
if he will be able to maintain that weight, the chance that he will not be prone to major injuries.

I like him pairing with CJ both are offensive stars with good role players around them the chance of moving to the next
round or maybe if chemistries will favor them, maybe they can achieve more.

Wait and see if what adjustments will be there for this team since Zion will play now this upcoming season.
