Zion Williamson It's Finally Official Goes #1 To Pelicans in NBA Draft

After YEARS of hype ... Zion Williamson is officially an NBA player after getting drafted as the 1st overall pick by the New Orleans Pelicans in the 2019 draft.

And that should surprise literally no one.

The ex-Duke superstar has been on everyone's radar ever since he was a 5-star recruit at Spartanburg Day School in NC. Seriously, even Drake was rocking his high school jersey back in 2017!!!

When @champagnepapi (Drake) is rocking your hsbb jersey and you're still in hs - @zionlw10 (Zion Williamson)

It was a sure thing Williamson would end up in NOLA after the Pels won the lottery .
