New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson put a nasty move on Alen Smailagic on Sunday night for his first made 3-pointer since his debut game on Jan. 22 against the San Antonio Spurs.
The No. 1 overall pick had missed his last seven 3-pointers since debuting with the Pelicans but drained his first attempt against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night at the expense of Smailagic.
On the play, Williamson received the ball from Lonzo Ball with Smailagic matched up on him. Williamson gave Smailagic a jab step, which sent the Warriors rookie stumbling in the other direction.
Even Williamson smiled after that move.

The move by Williamson is yet another way the rookie has managed to make the highlight reels. Williamson has certainly thrown down a number of electric dunks but he also showed off his full arsenal on the play with his dribble move and shooting.
Williamson led the Pelicans with 14 points at halftime as they trailed the Warriors, 56-46.
