Once praised as a messiah for the New Orleans Pelicans, now it is not clear what kind of future Zion Williamson has. The main concern is associated with Zion’s poor conditioning. It has turned out to be a recurring issue for him.

Williamson’s situation remains unchanged as the organization persistently pleads with him to improve his diet and the level of his training. He hasn’t done anything much to improve it.

This has been a struggle for Zion Williamson throughout his sports career. The fact that he had an injury record and weighed too much for his age was of great concern to many before drafting him in the NBA.

At 6’6″ and over 280 pounds, Williamson is certainly hauling a lot of weight. If this is not enough reason to argue why his body is struggling while playing basketball as a member of the New Orleans Pelicans, then what else is? Fans believe that Williamson’s lifestyle report was leaked on purpose to help them trade him to another team.

Some have said that he looks like TikTok star Druski while he is playing. It has been a major flaw in his conditioning and Twitter is not blind to it

This year, Zion Williamson has made an impact in the stats book with 22.2 points, 5.6 boards, and 4.8 assists per game, shooting at 57.4%. However, for the most part, he’s been anything but intense The Pels had led off that season, before going about finishing at just 42-40 having suffered an injury by Zion beforehand. Despite this, it seems quite probable to believe that Williamson can experience another relapse in a short while as he remains fit.

Zion Williamson’s fitness becomes a prolific concern for fans

The most alarming thing is that Zion has not attempted to change his routine in any way. Zion is not interested in all that attention on his conditioning. He will not lose any weight as the star of the Pelicans. Some people even suspect that he’s on a mission to sabotage every game he plays because of how awful his weight has become. However, Zion will not fully achieve his potential unless he learns how to control his body and maintain a proper physical fitness level.

In his fifth year, one would have hoped that such passion would be renewed when at the mid-point of last year; the team astonished everyone as it emerged top in the West. The Pelicans have played at an excruciatingly inefficient rate with a 12-11 record whenever the majority of their key players are on the court.
