Zion Williamson is finally healthy and producing for the New Orleans Pelicans. He has appeared in eight of the teams first ten games this season while averaging a very respectable 21.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. That’s the good news, the bad news is that Zion appears that he wants out of New Orleans.
