Zion Williamson is fighting injuries, weight issues, and accusations of infidelity by an adult film actor, but at least one of his New Orleans Pelicans coworkers is anticipating a triumphant return for the former top draft pick. During the ongoing Las Vegas Summer League, Trey Murphy III told ESPN, 'I've been talking to Z[Zion Williamson] a good deal.' He's super excited for this season.' He certainly has a chip on his shoulder. In December, the former Duke basketball player averaged 29.8 points over 12 games for the Pelicans for a brief period of time, but Williamson did not return to action until the remainder of the season. Murphy did not specifically mention the allegations of infidelity facing the scandalous Williamson, who recently revealed that he is pregnant, only to have porn actress Moriah Mills accuse him of infidelity in the ensuing days.

Victor Wembanyama, France's top export, is poised to replace wine as France's top export, a 7-foot-4 basketball sensation. He's athletic, skilled, vast, and yet only 19, so the winning team will undoubtedly be considered very lucky as the league selects its first pick on Tuesday night in New York. It's either way or not Wembanyama will feel the same way. The 14 teams in Tuesday's lottery aren't all positive, and that's by design. The lottery is supposed to enhance the league's bottom feeders by (slightly) deterring them from tanking their seasons in an attempt to land a top talent in the draft, such as Wembanyama. Mail Online's preview of Wembanyama's 14 future teams, how he'd fit, and what these clubs need to do to attract the NBA's most coveted prospect in a generation.
