Zion Williamson in fantastic shape?
The Pelicans star just returned to New Orleans after spending two months in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., executing a meticulous plan crafted with his strength and conditioning coach, Jasper Bibbs, to prepare for a pivotal year for him and the Pelicans. In an exclusive interview, Bibbs said the results have been “phenomenal.” “He’s in fantastic shape,” Bibbs told The Athletic. “He’s been committed to putting in the work day in and day out. I’m really proud of what he’s been able to accomplish. He’s a better athlete now than he’s ever been.”

Bibbs declined to specify how much weight Williamson lost over the summer or his current weight, but he said Williamson has come a long way since they started working together in January. “(His body composition) has improved at an extremely high level,” he said. “That’s all I’ll say.” -via The Athletic / September 20, 2022
After sitting out the entire 2021-22 season due to a fractured right foot, Zion Williamson has missed 141 games through the first three years of his career. But Williamson and his camp believe they’ve taken a critical step toward solving those problems this summer.
