Zion Williamson continues to rehab from the surgery he had on his right knee back in October and he’s taken another step toward making his debut for the Pelicans. The big man has resumed full weight-bearing exercises, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com writes.
Pelicans VP of basketball operations David Griffin is pleased with the progress Williamson is making, though the executive wouldn’t supply an anticipated return date when speaking with Lopez.
“We’re really excited with where he’s at,” Griffin said. “He’s made really good progress. I know we’ve reached the eight-week point, and everyone is ready to see him. I think we’re a little ways away yet, but today was a really big first step.”
Williamson hasn’t yet returned to practice and there is no definite timetable for that to occur either.
“It’s an important time for him because he’s fully weight-bearing,” Griffin said. “If we’re going to see a setback, it would be now. The teammates, the way they responded to him, the joy he has when he’s on the floor is evident. And we’ve obviously needed that.”
Zion you are a great talent. At 6’6” and 284 LBs. You will not last in NBA the way you play. You are thick and athletic. With real game. Change your diet. Hire a nutritionist. Teach yourself the value of good eating. With all the running and exercising. NBA players get. You should have no problem. Staying under 265 LBs. At 260 – 265 you are still thick and strong. Probably be quicker and faster. Most important you will play 15 yrs. It’s the difference between a HOFer. Or an NBA career. We are rooting for you player.

But we’ll said
Good point. Big, slow guys like Shaq can’t compete anymore.

Troll!
Troll!
Not a troll. Just someone desperate enough for validation in their lives to get it from internet strangers by making stupid comments. Then, 1 out of those 1000 stupid comments would come true and they will rub it in the faces of people who don’t even care.
