Zion Williamson is one of the best players in the league this year, and there’s no doubt that he is one of the most dominant big men we have seen in a long time. Currently, Zion Williamson is averaging 25.3 PPG, 7.3 RPG, and 4.4 APG.
It is very hard for defenses to stop Zion Williamson when he has his mind set on scoring at the rim and decides to be aggressive. Recently, Antonio Daniels explained that Zion Williamson is unstoppable not only because of his scoring but also because of his playmaking abilities.
How good is Zion Williamson right now?

If it’s not unstoppable, I haven’t seen anyone that can stop it as of yet. It’s not just the unstoppable in the sense of stopping him from scoring. Because that’s only one aspect of it.
Another aspect of it is his ability to see the floor and make his teammates better… He did a post game presser, where he talked about guys he grew up watching… They were all point guards. Everybody. It’s one thing to be able to see the floor… It’s another thing to have the skill set to see the floor and deliver the pass… That’s what makes great players great players.
There is no doubt that Zion Williamson is a gifted passer as well as a dominant scorer, and this has been evident in the New Orleans Pelicans’ recent stretch without Brandon Ingram. With his co-star sidelined, Zion Williamson has had to take on increased ballhandling and playmaking responsibilities, and it is clear that the superstar is delivering.
The New Orleans Pelicans Can Win A Championship This Season
It is obvious that the New Orleans Pelicans are a dangerous team with Zion Williamson in the fold. They are currently the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, only being behind the Memphis Grizzlies.
Jose Alvarado notably predicted that the team would be championship-caliber with Zion Williamson back due to the team already having players that can play at a high level.
When we get him back, we won’t just be a playoff contending team, we’ll be a championship team. I really think that. We got young cats that are ready to go at it. We got BI playing at a high level, JV. We got some guys who are ready to start winning more games.
Obviously, regular-season success doesn’t always translate to the playoffs. We have seen great regular season teams fold in the playoffs before due to their rosters’ weaknesses being exposed.
However, the New Orleans Pelicans seem to have the recipe for winning a championship. A dominant paint scorer in Zion Williamson, a three-level scorer in Brandon Ingram, and multiple elite role players such as Jose Alvarado, Herb Jones, and Trey Murphy III. Hopefully, we see them win a championship in the future, and they’re set up to be good for a long time.
