Magic Johnson wasn’t a great coach or executive but that doesn’t change the fact that he knows the game and understands it on a level few players ever have. So when he gives his opinion on Zion Williamson’s rookie season it’s smart to listen:
“I don’t think he’s going to be an All-Star this season. I think he’s going to go through a learning curve because now he’s going to run up to guys just as big as him, just as athletic as him, and not afraid of him. But, I think he’s going to have a fantastic season, and the Pelicans will be one of the most entertaining teams in all the basketball because now you put all Jrue Holiday with Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram.
