Is NBA Superstar Zion Williamson No Longer the Face of the Pelicans?

The New Orleans Pelicans felt like they hit the jackpot in 2019 when they landed the first overall pick and were able to draft Zion Williamson out of Duke. Williamson was a highly touted prospect coming out of college and was expected to be the new face of the franchise for New Orleans. While Williamson has been incredible when healthy, the 25-year-old forward has struggled to stay on the floor. Through his six seasons in the NBA, Williamson has played 60 or more games just twice, and has played 30 or fewer in each of his other four seasons.

Former Golden State Warriors Champion Could Be X-Factor for Pelicans

The New Orleans Pelicans followed up one of their best seasons in franchise history in 2023-24 with one of their worst in 2024-25, finishing with a 21-61 record, the fourth-worst in the NBA last season. Now, with a new look front office and some new faces on the roster, the Pelicans will look to make it back to the postseason in 2026. New Orleans' desire to make the postseason will be pushed due to the fact that they traded away their unprotected 2026 first-round pick to the Atlanta Hawks in the move to draft Derik Queen 13th overall. Looking at this Pelicans roster, it's a mixed bunch of emerging young talents and veterans, but one recent addition could be the piece they need to get over the hump.

NBA Trade Idea Pairs $197 Million All-Star With Zion Williamson

The 2025 NBA offseason has seen a couple of stars get traded, headlined by Kevin Durant getting sent to the Houston Rockets, but it has ultimately been a quiet summer for the league's best players. The New Orleans Pelicans have been one of the handful of teams that have made multiple key trades. The Pelicans started their offseason by trading CJ McCollum and Kelly Olynyk to the Washington Wizards for Jordan Poole and Saddiq Bey, as they get younger and arguably more talented.
