New Orleans Pelicans Power Forward Zion Williamson has found his footing over his last 15 games. Over that stretch, he is averaging 26.7 points per game, 7.1 rebounds, and 5.1 assists. He is also shooting 62.5% from the field over his last 15 games.
Williamson is one of the league’s most talented offensive players, but his career has been derailed by injury. In his 24 games this season, the former No. 1 overall pick is averaging 24.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 5.2 assists. Will he be able to keep it going as the New Orleans Pelicans look to finish the season strong?
New Orleans Pelicans Season Summary
It has been a miserable season for the Pelicans. They have the second-worst record in the Western Conference and will miss the NBA Playoffs this year. The team also decided to trade away one of their best players at the NBA Trade Deadline sending Forward Brandon Ingram to the Toronto Raptors.
The team’s offense has been poor this season. They are 21st in points scored, 24th in field goal percentage, and 24th in three-point percentage. New Orleans’ defense has not been any better this year. They are 26th in points allowed, 28th in opposing field goal percentage, and 23rd in opposing three-point percentage. A bad offense and defense have led to the New Orleans Pelicans having such a poor season on the court.
Final Thoughts
Williamson and the Pelicans return to the court this evening when they host the Houston Rockets. Even though this season is a lost one for New Orleans, Williamson has been great over the last six weeks. If he can stay healthy and keep up this level of play, the Pelicans will have a bright future.
