For those who are following along Zion currently only has 2 points 3 rebounds and he might not play much more
https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4395628/zion-williamson
Yep, he had bad start, first 3 quarters only 5 points and then in last quarter 17 points , 4/4 for 3 pts in that period. If he wasn't on restricted minutes he would score way more. I might be wrong, but it  seems to me like he lost a bit of weight. That would definitely be a good thing for him, to reduce chance for injuries.


He actually had a good NBA debut. 22 pts 7Reb 3 Ast in 18 Minutes. That is already a good conversion for a man who had been out for a couple of months. He will surely improve his stats as the season progress. Sadly, they did not get the win but they showed a good 4th quarter game.
Yes but but when I made this post it was at the haflway point in the game and Zion only had 2 points, 3 rebounds
Many people were concerned about this if you made a prop bet for over 13.5 points but in the end Zion played up to his full potential
Not bad only 3 rebounds away from a Double=Double

 I am really scared for Zion after this performence. Maybe this was just an outlier and he normally doesn't play like this, maybe dude will just play more of a charles barkley type of game where he is just grabbing rebounds and scoring dunks? I mean we all can see that he can shoot threes now, however just because of this game doesn't mean he has talents like curry to shoot threes, nobody should increase their expectations of him so suddenly after just one game. Sure he will be a good player as long as he stays healthy but I am also scared dude will be expected to be a great scorer from everywhere of the court.

Here's some highlights of Zion Williamson NBA Debut: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=115173626513645

He scored 17 points straight in the 4th quarter!

What a game to make a debut after coming back from knee injury. He kept his composure and scored some good and sweet 3 pointers. Out of 22 , 17 came from that quarter...wow what an impact. Though they lost it but Williamson getting back will boost Pelicans from hereon.

Great day for the Pelicans indeed.

They just saw the glimpse of the future there.
It might not be that much play time for him but it ain't over. It is just the start.

They may be thinking of new plays right now.
Lonzo Ball will be gaining higher stats after this. Alley-oops, three pointers getting open shots because of Zion penetrating the paint.
A streak is a must if they want a spot for the playoffs.

They are at the 12th spot with 17 wins but the 8th spot which is Spurs just got 20 wins.
There is still a chance.

Young Lakers core + Zion? Man, that seems really promising, even though they played only one match together. It's a shame that we had to wait for him that long but on the other side i think that he will make it up to us for the next 15 years.

Bro, that 4th quarter.

He is on fire on the 4th quarter. His teamates knows whats up and focussed their offense to him. Damn, back to back points, not just twos but also threes. He really is something, not a fan of him in the past but I think I would follow him from now on. It is just sad that he might not play every game

Same here, not a fan yet since he hasn't proved anything in the NBA, but definitely one of my favorite rookies, It's just sad he had a bad start with an injury in the NBA. This kid is a legit superstar, if you haven't heard of him before, he was a college superstar who had so much hype because of his explosiveness regardless of how much he weighs.
Anyway, I hope he'll have full recovery so we could see his full potential in the NBA.

I heard him first as an expected rookie superstar, I did not research him but seeing him in this game, he would really be a superstar.

It is just bad that the first news I read about him is about his injury. This team would be giving him enough time to recover and that also means lower time in the court. I know a lot of people are expecting something from him so he better focus on himself with his recovery.

I think you wrote this wrong, because Zion has accumulated a total of 22 point with 4/4 in three point range. I think the hype for this overall first pick isn't a joke and he proved it on a restricted minutes with 17points in the fourth quarter. Though his team lost to the Spurs but this made a good impression on Williamson's career.

Zion is something new in this league. Something extraordinary. I think that we are a true witnesses of the new big kiddo on the block.

4/4 at threes, he just scored points casually, like he even didn't care. And his movement, his swag, his feeling and the mojo. We've waited a long time for him but it was worth it.
Yah right, he seems to be not only hype but he really has the game in him. Right now I'm starting to like this guy after this one game with only a limited minute. He could be a big thing in the NBA in the future if he avoids injuries.

22 points 7 rebounds and 3 assist not bad for his first appearance, This kid really have a good space from this league I agree that partnering with Ball he can jumped expect to see a lots of alley-oops from this team, though chances of having some adjustment between him and Ingram as they both need to touch the ball more often.

For me that is one hell of a good start. This kid is something else.
His shoulders are really big and he might carry a lot with those.
Just looking at how ecstatic the crowd was when he shoots the ball. They want something from him. Playoffs maybe? Not this year but maybe next.
Who knows? It is still possible if they could get a good run.
But I am seeing they are taking care of him. The lead was not that much against the Spurs but they let him rest.

Zion williamson is going to be playing against the San Antonio Spurs tonight!

Damn thanks for that, for some weird reason i thought i saw him coming back on January 29th. Woke up hour and half early before works to see that game live. It was worth it, Zion showed why he was 1st pick !
Hype is real  Grin

I am really excited to see Oladipo back. I actually missed him a lot.  Grin
Pacers is 28-16 without him. They are doing great, what more when he is around.
The chemistry might get a little whack in the start but I am betting they will still remember how they do it when he was there.

Pacers were doing great without him, but just imagine how stronger and more dangerous will they be if Dipo can plat at previous level. I think most important thing is how will him and Brogdon work together, but I think it won't be an issue as Brogdon is a team player.

Utah would be a bit different because they already have Conley and also sort of Clarkson, I know he is SG normally but he played a lot of PG minutes when Conley was gone which is why I think Utah would probably not get Rose.

Utah already have clarkson, and at this state now, he is better than Rose, or his contribution fit to the Jazz.
Many teams Rose played after the bulls and he end up transferring to another team, that means he is not back to his old self and teams wants more of him.
It's hard for DRose to adjust again especially with his minutes, He already have a good space for Piston and looking for Jazz's rotations
it will be another adjustment if they will going to acquire DRose. Having Conley and Clarkson those minutes needs to be balanced they
can't have another one and be productive after.

Hm, this article  got me confused, how could Jazz give Derrick Favors and Dante Exum for Kevin Love since those 2 guys already left Jazz ( Favors to Pelicans for two second-round picks in order to give Jazz more cap space and  Exum for Jordan Clarkson)?
Checked the date, it is outdated. It was June 28, 2019.
Damn date was not that much visible.

Anyone else interested to see how will Victor Oladipo  look after big break due injury? He is supposed to come back soon, on January 29th (  supposedly the same day as Zion Williamson).

I am really excited to see Oladipo back. I actually missed him a lot.  Grin

Zion on the other hand had so much weight in his shoulders. It might become an obstacle if he could not carry it.
He needs a lot of support from the young team.
I bet we will be flowing with news and articles about him even from just his debut.

I can't wait to see Zion straight up dominate the NBA this season. I hope he comes on today and kicks it off positively. I think he will hit the ground running and probably score over 10 points in his first game. The pelicans are a lucky team to have this kid on their team, he is an absolute monster. He is going to mark his debut with a win! At least, in my opinion. This guy reminds me of young Lebron tearing it up in his first couple seasons with Cleveland. Maybe, he is even better.

We don't know. A lot of people are pumped up with Zion's debut, they are all waiting for this since the start of the season. We saw some moves in the pre season but after that, nothing. We still can't compare these two players right now since we don't have that much stat to compare to. Either way, Zion is said to be one of that players who play the least games in a season.
