New Orleans Pelicans: Zion Williamson should focus on lead handler skills

Selected a little under a year ago with the first overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, Zion Williamson showed off a lot in 19 games with the New Orleans Pelicans this season, even though he spent the first three months of the regular season rehabbing a torn right meniscus.

Many were blown away by some of the on-ball dominance the rookie, as he muscled his way to the rim against bigger and more credentialled opponents, averaging 123.9 points per shot attempt per Cleaning The Glass.

However, close watching reveals that Williamson’s creativity goes far beyond scoring.
