We haven’t seen yet Zion Williamson in action since the opening of the pre-season, but his teeth scratch the floor, there is no doubt. Sharp and ready to resume his trajectory to glory, the interior of the New Orleans Pelicans impresses all his comrades in training. This is Willy Hernangomezthe MVP of the last EuroBasket, who says so.
“The most important thing regarding Zion is that he is hungry. He wants to destroy everyone, play hard and show people that he is one of the best players on the planet. You can see that in training,” explained the Spaniard.
If Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum won’t be available for the Pelicans’ preseason opener next night in Chicago, Zion Williamson will be there. Like the other usual holders of Willie Green, he will have a maximum of 20 minutes of play, just to stretch his legs and not to force right away.
Three days later, Zion and the Pelicans will host the Detroit Pistons, 10 days from the start of the 2022-2023 season.
Willy Hernangomez on Zion: “The most important thing is he’s hungry. He wants to destroy everybody. He wants to play hard. He wants to show people he’s one of the best players in the world. You can see that in practice.”
