Zion Williamson Intends to Play With Pelicans for His Entire Career

Zion Williamson isn't eyeing greener pastures before his first year in New Orleans and looks to stay with the Pelicans for his entire career, according to Complex.

“Growing up, I loved what Kobe did and Dirk did," Williamson said. "My intentions are to stay with the Pelicans my whole career."

New Orleans selected Williamson with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft. The Pelicans selected Anthony Davis with the No. 1 pick in 2012, but Davis requested a trade to Los Angeles in late January.

Williamson reportedly isn't looking to leave New Orleans anytime soon, but don't expect him to remain a solo superstar.
