    Zion Williamson slated to debut Jan 22nd

    As the NBA regular-season debut for Zion Williamson draws near, the New Orleans Pelicans now have a targeted date in mind.
    Pelicans executive vice president of basketball operations David Griffin said Wednesday that the team anticipates Williamson will make his debut at home on Jan. 22 against the San Antonio Spurs.

    I'll probably watch. I don't watch much, but he should be fun to watch if he doesn't get hurt again.

    I wonder what kind of minutes they give him.

    He'll help them right off the bat. If there's one thing we know about the NBA it's that if you're big & athletic you'll have great success. He actually had a great game vs teh Jazz in the exhibitions -I seem to remember him dunking on Gobert...

    So you are saying Williamson will be a BUST? Time will tell.

    Bruh, the guy is freak of nature.

    280+ lbs with a 43+ vertical? And skillz?

    C'mon man.

    But it's true, a guy that size gets hurt, it's a tough road in basketball.

    Maybe the first few years he’ll overpower guys but I think then he’ll fade

    Who knows just guessing

    Just because he is big does not automatically mean injuries, he is built like Julius Peppers who never got hurt.
