Zion Williamson Goes Number One In the 2019 NBA Draft
The New Orleans Pelicans have taken Zion Williamson from Duke with the number one pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
The 6 ft 7 in forward was a consensus first round pick going into the draft and his highlight reel shows why.
It will be interesting to see how the Pelicans use Williamson. There has been a suggestion that he will start his NBA center but his skill and vision on the court are almost certain to see him become a point forward.
At 285 lb his size will mean he won’t have any problems on the inside. He is the same height as a Draymond Green but over 50 lbs heavier.
The comparisons have been made to Lebron James but Williamson is a very different sort of athlete and much more of a forward where as Lebron James was thought of more as a point guard coming into the NBA.
One thing is for certain, the New Orleans Pelicans will be a much watch team on NBA League pass next season. Williamson will be a highlight to watch for many years to come.
