Oleh Kosel: Lonzo Ball on whether he’s ever seen anything similar to Zion Williamson’s incredible efficiency & impact for a rookie these last 2 preseason games: “I haven’t seen it yet. I tell him all the time that he’s amazing. Just keep doing what he’s doing, the sky is the limit for him.”
Jim Eichenhofer: Nickeil asked about Zion shooting 3s: “I am a Zion believer. So anything he does, I will be right behind him 100 percent. If he wants to shoot wide-open threes and knock them down, by all means, keep doing that. It’s only going to make him harder to guard and the team better.”
It’s only preseason. The games don’t matter, young players are on the court, and the veterans are often going through the motions. We all know we shouldn’t take too much away from these games. Yet, in his last two games, Zion Williamson has a combined 55 points on 21-of-25 shooting (1-of-1 from three) with eight rebounds. He has gotten to the line 17 times in those two games. That includes 26 points on Friday night against the Jazz.
Tommy Beer: Zion Williamson extremely efficient in his second preseason game tonight: 29 Points on 12-of-13 shooting, yo go along with 4 rebounds And 4 assists in 26 minutes
Panini, the exclusive trading partner for the NBA since 2009, has an exclusive trading card partnership with Williamson to feature his only licensed college and NBA trading cards and autograph cards. His first officially licensed NBA autographs will release in mid-October with the arrival of the 2019-20 NBA Hoops Basketball product, as well as Panini’s 25 additional NBA trading card products released during the season. “There’s been great players who have come into the league like Anthony Davis but there’s never been anticipation like this,” Jason Howarth, VP of Marketing for Panini, said in a phone interview. “The last time there was this level of anticipation for a guy coming into the league was LeBron James.”
