Here’s New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson on possessions where he guarded future Hall of Famer Chris Paul during this past weekend’s 114-96 home win vs. the San Antonio Spurs (22 points/9 rebounds/3 assists/2 steals/2 blocks/8-17 FG/6-10 FT/+23 +/-).
(via New Orleans Pelicans):
“I feel like I can guard 1-5, personally. We’re out there with a big lineup, so I feel like I’m mobile enough to guard CP. But a player like that, his résumé speaks for itself. He can have an impact on a game probably without even taking one shot or he’ll have games where he will decide to be more aggressive with his shot. So when guarding somebody like that, you always gotta be aware of how high their IQ is for the game.”
