The New Orleans Pelicans and Zion Williamson have been making waves in the NBA, with many people optimistic about their potential. But Thursday night’s tough loss to the Los Angeles Lakers revealed some areas of concern for the team and for Williamson himself. On the NBA on TNT, Shaquille O’Neal discussed why the Pelicans star has yet to reach his full potential.
The Pelicans have been on a roller coaster ride of a season, with many highs and lows. They’ve been able to put together some impressive wins, but have also struggled to maintain a consistent level of play. Zion Williamson has been the center of attention for the team, and has been impressive in his first year in the NBA. But Shaq thinks that there is still a lot of room for him to grow.
Shaq believes that the biggest issue for Williamson is his lack of experience. He’s only played a handful of games in the NBA, and is still learning the ropes. He’s also had to adjust to the physicality of the game, which has been a challenge for him. Shaq also points out that Williamson is still developing his basketball IQ, and is still learning how to make the right plays in the right situations.
Shaq also believes that Williamson needs to be more consistent. He’s had some great games, but has also had some poor performances. He’s not always been able to put together a full 48 minutes of solid play, and this has been a problem for the Pelicans. Shaq believes that with more experience, Williamson will be able to become more consistent and be able to perform at a high level on a more regular basis.
Shaq also believes that the Pelicans need to give Williamson more support. He’s the single most important player on the team, and the team needs to do a better job of helping him reach his full potential. They need to give him more opportunities to succeed, and put him in a position to succeed. They also need to do a better job of surrounding him with the right pieces to help him succeed.
The Pelicans have a lot of work to do if they want to reach their full potential. But with Zion Williamson leading the way, they have a chance to be a force in the NBA. Shaq believes that with the right amount of experience and support, Williamson can reach his full potential and become the player that everyone expects him to be. With the right pieces in place, the Pelicans can become a championship contender.
