Softly but surely, Zion Williamson makes his nest in the NBA. The young Pelicans player distinguished himself against Portland (victory 138-117) by scoring 31 points in just 28 minutes of play.
The first choice of the 2019 draft, which missed the last game (defeat against Memphis, 106-99) hit in the ankle, confirms his talent when he is on foot, with nine rebounds and five assists.
