The Pelicans Are Adding Some New, Exciting Wrinkles To Zion's Game, Such As The Ability To Walk!

(ESPN) – Williamson told Sedano that he “trusts the organization” in its decision-making, and he said his rehab process has been about more than just the recovery from surgery to repair the torn meniscus in his right knee.

Williamson, 19, said the Pelicans are also trying to teach him how to walk and run differently — working on the kinetic chain of his body.

Ahhhhh boy. Zion’s rehab up ’til this point has been relatively quiet, expected return date never quite nailed down, and after months of nothing more than breadcrumbs of information about what’s going with him THIS is the story we get? They’re teaching the motherfucker how to WALK? And he TRUSTS them? They gonna teach him how to breathe differently next? Take a guy number one overall just to find out he’s been blinking wrong for the first 19 years of breathing, something else he could work on, just to rebuild him from scratch. It’s troublesome, BIG troublesome. Who would have thought the most athletic phenom to enter a professional sport in some time would need to have his entire lower body rebuilt before he ever even stepped on a professional court. I hope Zion’s ok and this is a story we don’t even remember a year from now because he’s fine but you talk about something I’d prefer not to be reading about one of the more exciting young players in the League.
