Zion Williamson is doing more than just dunking the basketball these days. His outside shot is improving and the 22-year-old was performing at an MVP level for the Pelicans one-third of the way through the 2022-23 season. Not only was New Orleans leading the Western Conference as we slid into January 2023, but Williamson – who missed all of last season with a foot injury – was leading the team in scoring, averaging 25.0 points per game.
