Zion Williamson’s body looks incredible in the latest photos that have been released of the New Orleans Pelicans star.
Obviously, ever since he has come out of Duke, Williamson’s physique and general health has been the topic of much conversation.
He has experienced bouts of being extremely overweight to the point where even his team had to talk to him about conditioning.
In part due to bad luck and in part due to the aforementioned conditioning issues, Williamson has played in just 114 out of a possible 318 regular season games throughout his career.
This year, the 23-year-old is aiming to change that.
This week photos emerged of Williamson in the lab amid the Pelicans’ offseason. His body looked absolutely incredible.
Been hearing good things about the work Zion’s putting in this summer.
Was told he’s been really focused on making sure his body is prepared for a long season. Think he’s gonna come in with a chip on his shoulder. pic.twitter.com/m1bkf4bhyc

Clearly fans have grown tired of Williamson’s inconsistency as it pertains to his weight and health. That in turn has made them overly-critical.
Nevertheless, reactions to Williamson’s new body photos poured in quickly.
Call me crazy, but working out in a kitchen is a red flag to me

Healthy, fit, and motivated Zion is an MVP-caliber player. He’s that good. Just a question of whether he can be all 3 for a whole season. https://t.co/I4MuIUPm6r

I love seeing this, with the caveat that healthy Zion’s work ethic has never been the problem. The test is how he responds to (or avoids) injury.
This is the best he’s ever looked, though. https://t.co/2WKxdBpVAZ

This is shaping up to be a big year for Williamson. Questions have circled about his relationship with his teammates and how much he actually wants to be in New Orleans.
His cry-for-help cryptic social media posts also haven’t helped.
That being said, when Williamson plays – he is a stud.
Quite the college football Saturday already for Tennessee. https://t.co/n7BkuBpzWG

And if he can suit up consistently for the Pelicans, they are at the very least a playoff team.
Will Williamson’s 2023-24 campaign be the one where he finally turns his entire pro career around? Time will tell.
