The New Orleans Pelicans made a bold move when they selected Zion Williamson with the first overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. While Williamson was a highly touted college player, his transition to the NBA has been less than stellar. Despite the Pelicans’ faith in him, Williamson has yet to live up to the hype and expectations.
Recently, Williamson’s former trainer, David Alexander, took to social media to call out the young star. Alexander, who has worked with Williamson since he was in high school, believes that the Pelicans star has not been putting in the necessary work to reach his full potential.
Alexander posted a video to his Instagram account, where he criticized Williamson for not taking his training seriously. He said that Williamson was not putting in the necessary work to reach his full potential and that he was not taking advantage of the resources available to him. Alexander also said that Williamson was not taking the necessary steps to improve his game and that he was not taking his career seriously.
Alexander’s comments were met with mixed reactions. Some people agreed with him, while others felt that he was being too harsh on Williamson. Regardless of the opinion, Alexander’s comments sparked a conversation about Williamson’s work ethic and his commitment to improving his game.
Williamson has yet to respond to Alexander’s comments, but the Pelicans have released a statement saying that they are monitoring his progress and that they are committed to helping him reach his full potential. The team also said that they are confident in Williamson’s work ethic and that they are confident that he will reach his full potential.
Williamson has had a difficult time adjusting to the NBA game. He has been hampered by injuries and has struggled to find his rhythm on the court. Despite these struggles, the Pelicans remain confident in Williamson’s ability and are committed to helping him reach his full potential.
The Pelicans have surrounded Williamson with a talented supporting cast, including Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, and JJ Redick. This group of players has the potential to be a championship-caliber team, and the Pelicans are hoping that Williamson can be the centerpiece of this team.
Williamson has the potential to be one of the best players in the NBA, but he must put in the necessary work to reach his full potential. His former trainer, David Alexander, has called him out on social media, and it is up to Williamson to prove that he is committed to improving his game. The Pelicans remain confident in Williamson’s ability and are committed to helping him reach his full potential.
