NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Imagine being a kid and playing pickup basketball at a local community center with your friends and bonified NBA superstar shows up. That’s what happened earlier this week at the Dryades YMCA. The kids at Dryades were ‘taken to school’ by Pelicans superstar Zion Williamson who challenged everyone in the gym to take a shot at guarding the 6′6 forward who is one of the elite finishers in the NBA.
The New Orleans Pelicans will continue their international scouting in the coming weeks and the prospect will be familiar. Jose Alvarado has been called in to help the Puerto Rico Basketball Federation (FBPUR) qualify for the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup. LSU alum Tremont Waters will join Alvarado and 22 others in San Juan for training camp.
