Zion Williamson – New Orleans Pelicans
You cannot talk about the NBA anymore without talking about Zion Williamson! The 20-year old forward has been getting better and better and after starting in the All-Star game this year, Zion has taken his game to a new level.
Since the All-Star break, Zion Williamson is averaging 29.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and is shooting 67.3% from the floor! Zion has been an absolute monster in the paint this year and is on-track to break a long held record for shooting percentage in the paint by the great Shaquille O’Neal.
There is just no stopping Zion Williamson when he gets in the paint this season and quite honestly, there really is no way to stop this kid without throwing your entire team on him! The athleticism he possesses for somebody of his size and stature is unheard of and with his ability to jump over virtually anybody in the league, he is must-see television every time he plays!

Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram have led the Pelicans all season long and currently, they are just a couple of games back from the Warriors who hold the 10-seed in the Western Conference right now. Getting to the playoffs in a play-in game is very do-able for this team and as long as he continues to play at a high-level, there is no stopping Zion.
None of the top teams in the Western Conference will want to see him or the Pelicans in the first-round of the playoffs because if they make it there, they will be a tough team to play in the first-round. Nothing comes easy against the Pelicans this year and with Zion Williamson having his way with almost everyone in the league, it is just a matter of time before he becomes the best player in the league.
