Zion Williamson has felt bookmarked for the New York Knicks since before he even put on a New Orleans Pelicans uniform.
On draft night in the summer of 2019, it just felt like people were anticipating the Knicks to receive the number one pick. It was strange. The Knicks had the lottery odds that they had. Somehow, they just felt due to land a superstar.
The ping pong balls didn’t fall in their favor. Instead, the Knicks selected Williamson’s teammate, RJ Barrett, with the third overall pick. He’s been solid. Meanwhile, Williamson has been mostly injured. It’s still hard not to feel like the Knicks would rather be rehabbing Williamson.
At the same time, some things don’t change. Williamson still feels bookmarked for the Knicks. Rumors of his discontent in New Orleans have swirled since his facial expression upon learning the Pelicans would select him.
