In our recent post ranking the New Orleans Pelicans’ top 6 trade assets, it was, of course, Zion Williamson that came out as number one on our countdown.
That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone. In just four years of playing in the NBA, Williamson has already earned himself two All-Star nominations. And the best part is he’s only 22 years old.
However, the kicker is that the early portion of his career has been marred by injury. So much so that, out of the 308 regular season games that he’s been eligible to participate in, he’s only appeared in 114 (so roughly 37% of games).
