There are always incredibly high expectations that come with being drafted 1st overall in any sport, but those expectations are even higher for Zion Williamson, a player who has been called the best prospect since LeBron James.
Add in the fact that New Orleans went out and brought in a number of new and talented faces, you've also got potential playoff expectations in a loaded Western Conference. The good news is that there are some veterans with postseason experience, most notably JJ Redick who has never missed the playoffs, and he had a wonderful conversation with Zion when he first met him.
He's also got an incredibly talented roster around him that features a Canadian who lit it up in Summer League, Nickeil Alexander-Walker. (H/T: New Orleans Pelicans)
