Willie Green on Zion Williamson’s play in last night’s intrasquad scrimmage: “Z looked amazing. His strength, his speed. He dominated the scrimmage pretty much. And then he did a good job of looking for his teammates. What stood out the most was his force, more than anything.” – 2:22 PM

It definitely reinforced how young #Pelicans rookie Dyson Daniels is (19) when he said after practice today of Zion Williamson: “He’s a great player. I watched that guy growing up.” – 4:02 PM

While @David Thorpe heroically navigates his family away from a deadly storm, @jshector and I read the tea leaves of NBA media day (including ZION).

Brandon Ingram’s goal: “A championship.”
He joked that if he would have said making the second round or something, that Willie Green would be calling him immediately. – 2:56 PM

One reason to think this Pelicans team could hit the ground running out of the gates: Willie Green says he noticed during offseason pick-up games that the guys were doing/executing a lot of concepts that were taught over the course of last season. – 11:57 AM

Willie Green says the Pelicans team is going to have dinner tonight and talk about the expectations they’ll have for the upcoming season. – 11:48 AM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Willie Green on when asked on who has impressed him over the summer, similar to Herb Jones a year ago: “Yeah, Herb Jones.”
With a chuckle, Green said he barely ever went home. – 11:43 AM

More on this storyline

Will Guillory: Willie Green says Zion Williamson “dominated” in scrimmages with the team last night. He noted Zion’s force and speed were really impressive. -via Twitter @WillGuillory / September 28, 2022
Oleh Kosel: Trey Murphy said he knew Zion Williamson was back and ready to resume torturing the league after a Z drive in last night’s scrimmage. Williamson knocked Naji Marshall out of the way, who in turn pushed Trey from being able to help defensively too. -via Twitter @OlehKosel / September 28, 2022
Andrew Lopez: Larry Nance on his advice to Zion Williamson: “You don’t put cheap gas in a Lambo.” Says he’s a 1 of 1 athlete and he has to treat his body as such. Added that he’s seen Zion make that commitment this offseason. -via Twitter @_Andrew_Lopez / September 26, 2022
