New Orleans Pelicans: Zion Williamson looks slim in new photo

Another photo of Zion Williamson is making the rounds and the New Orleans Pelicans’ star looks great.

There has been a lot of talk about Zion Williamson‘s weight since he was drafted by the New Orleans Pelicans.

On one hand, this isn’t really fair, as the 20-year-old hasn’t been fully healthy since blowing out his knee in preseason last year.

On the other hand, Zion’s physical conditioning is really the only thing that can stop him from dominating the NBA, so it is fair to wonder how the young man is keeping this offseason.

Zion Williamson nearly broke the Internet when a picture emerged of him pre-bubble looking like a ripped Bane from The Dark Knight Rises.

This hype quickly faded though, as Zion had to leave the bubble for a family emergency and came back limping and out of shape, not what the New Orleans Pelicans were hoping to see.

New Orleans Pelicans: Zion Williamson looks lean in a new photo…again

That’s why it is too early to put much stock in a recent photo that shows Zion Williamson looking slim… again.

There is still a month to go before the start of next season, so we’ll see what Zion Williamson looks like then, but it is encouraging to see him looking closer to the pre-bubble Bane than the guy we saw limping to the finish line of last season.

If Zion Williamson can stay in shape and play a full season injury-free, the ceiling for what he and the New Orleans Pelicans can be goes up considerably.

Let’s hope that Zion doesn’t have any relapses when it comes to his fluctuating weight, as a slimmer, quicker version of what we saw last season will be almost unstoppable.

We’ll be keeping an eye on Zion’s progress throughout the offseason, as he looks to guide the Pelicans back to the playoffs.
