Zion Williamson took the floor for his highly anticipated professional debut with the Pelicans Friday night in Las Vegas, and it didn’t take long for Williamson to start putting together a highlight reel of powerful dunks.
Williamson was quiet in the opening minutes and had a shot swatted by Mitchell Robinson, but scored his first points with a dunk under the basket.
Later in the quarter, Williamson manhandled a ball away from Kevin Knox and punched in a dunk while Knox was lying on the floor.
Williamson scored 10 points in total in the first quarter, but the experienced Knicks team built a big lead thanks to the hot shooting of Knox and Allonzo Trier.
