The New Orleans Saints have no choice but to keep trusting Zion Williamson at this point.
They’re not going to get equal value in return for him because of his injury woes, and he’s shown to be good enough to carry a franchise when healthy.
That’s why the fans are so excited to see that, for the first time in his career, it seems like he’s finally gotten in shape.
As shown by Ingram Alerts and Spurs Reporter on Twitter, the former No. 1 pick is looking quite slim.

Apparently, Williamson shed as much as 30 pounds during the offseason, and he might enter the upcoming campaign in the best shape of his career.
Granted, no one wants to get hurt, and Williamson is not to blame for being a big individual.
Then again, with all the reports about his poor eating habits and somewhat questionable work ethic, former players and NBA pundits repeatedly called him out to try and get him to change his ways.
Judging by those pictures, that’s precisely what has happened.
Zion Williamson is a special and unique kind of talent.
He’s just naturally dominant, and the Pelicans are a legitimate threat when he’s on the floor.
Hopefully, getting slimmer won’t take any of his physicality away from the game, although it could definitely make him bouncier, which is a scary thought for the rest of the league.
The game is always better when the best are on the floor, and let’s hope Williamson can stay on the court next season and for years to come.
