Man, what word would work to describe this version of Williamson? He has certainly slimmed down, but we can do better.
Sleek? Lithe? Fit?
Take your pick, it doesn't matter.
It's exciting to see that Williamson has apparently done something about his fitness.
Williamson, even at a much larger weight, has been an effective NBA player whenever he's been on the floor.

But whether because of the heavier weight or not, Williamson has rarely been able to stay healthy.
This is a potentially big career shift. Williamson looks like he's embracing a new beginning.
The Pelicans actually have a lot of talent, although the Western Conference remains loaded. But if there's another level for Williamson to reach, that could make a huge difference.
New Orleans will still go far as Zion takes them. Now, he looks prepared to go further.
