Zion Williamson, star of the New Orleans Pelicans, is savoring a remarkable physique makeover. When he was selected by the Pelicans with the first overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, Williamson, now 25, was one of the most promising prospects.
The power forward hasn’t yet reached his full NBA potential with New Orleans, though. Over his six-year professional career, the former Duke star has struggled with weight issues and injuries.
However, Williamson has taken on a remarkably positive form, suggesting that he has finally turned the corner. During the summer, the native of North Carolina participated in a rigorous fitness regimen.
Williamson was only able to play in 30 games the previous season due to a serious hamstring injury. In order to deal with his inconsistent weight and recurring ailments, the basketball player started a rigorous training schedule that was recommended by trainer Daniel Bove.
He trained by doing drill runs on football grounds and boxing exercises.
