New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson plans to contact Los Angeles Lakers superstar small forward LeBron James and ask how to stay “consistent” in the NBA.
Williamson, like James, was the No. 1 overall pick in his draft class. The Pelicans are hoping Williamson can carve out a career similar to the one James has had. LeBron has won three titles, three Finals MVPs and four regular season MVP awards.
There hasn't been this much hype surrounding a young player in the NBA since LeBron came into the league back in 2003.
Zion: I probably will hit (LeBron James) up. Hopefully he answers. I want to ask how he maintains. How he stays consistent"

Williamson went on to say he hopes James answers his call. Knowing LeBron, he probably will.
The Pelicans are so excited for their future. David Griffin got a tremendous return for Anthony Davis, and now he has Williamson as the new face of the franchise in The Big Easy.
During his rookie season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, James averaged 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists. The King recorded 12 double-doubles too.
It's unfair for us to ask Williamson to put up those type of numbers with the Pelicans in 2019-20, but Zion will definitely be putting up some stellar numbers which will undoubtedly make him the favorite to win the 2020 Rookie of the Year award.
At Duke, Williamson put up 22.6 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists.
