October 5th - New Orleans Pelicans Open Practice - Preseason - 0-0

The white team for the Pelicans is running a lineup with Zion at the five right now. He's out there with Lonzo, Hart, NAW and Kenrich.

We've heard about him running the 3, 4 and 5 in recent days.

Jaxson Hayes shot 86% at the rim in college, and they weren't all dunks :hihi:

The man is a prodigal finisher.

Lonzo splashes the 3

Why so many replays???

Zion caught the Ingram miss and he and NAW ran a two man game in transition. NAW hit the backwards bounce pass to a trailing Zion who cut through the lane between two defenders for the soft finish.

Good to see that kind of chemistry developing

I had to mute this. These people are annoying and too many replays. Missed like 3 plays smh.

This is gorgeous stuff. The speed at that size, the finesse, the hang time. Important to note that Zion made that run with his right hand, working on his handle

Wide open layup is never a bad shot. Corner three may be a touch better, sure, but you don't expect automatic reads like that this early between a whole team.

If they’re going to do a replay after every score...then don’t put the graphic every f’ing time. We miss entire possessions

Melli to Lonzo to Zion to Melli for the layup in transition :hihi:

In a real game, you'd want Lonzo to just take that immediately before the defender caught up, but it's fun to see that kind of willingness to share

A minute ago Ingram made a nice pass from the top of the key to a cutting Jrue, that was nice. Jrue's wearing a hoodie on court which is... interesting

Ingram just bit on a Lonzo Ball pump fake...

perhaps a little over-eager, there :hihi: he made a three a moment ago though, so I'll forgive it. More threes from Ingram please. He should never take a 20 foot jumper again.

Can someone tell the broadcasters to cut all the replays.. I've never seen anything so ridiculous..

My official super scientific analysis on this practice is that Zion is good

Can confirm this, from peer review.

If teams fail to box-out Zion Williamson this season, expect at least 5 OREBs in those games. He's already hit that mark and we're still in the first half.

Zion Williamson can play basketball.

Over/under on dunks for Zion this season? #wbd #pelicans pic.twitter.com/NmUTSeX8vS

250.

Love seeing Hayes take the dribble hand off to Jrue, then cut to the post, post up Lonzo and get that turnaround finish.

Glad to see him just doing various things. Showing skills. Some of it is a touch rough, but the progress is what matters.

This is frustrating to watch too many replays man

Jrue so smooth with it on the spin move and then pass to Frank
