Zion Williamson was impressive in his NBA debut, but he did it from three, not with dunks.
That changed just 40 seconds into his second game.

It was a lob from Jrue Holiday against a Denver defense that did not get back fast enough. Zion and the Pelicans wanted to do this in his debut but give the Spurs credit, they got back in transition and cut off these opportunities. The very shorthanded Nuggets did not.
There will be a lot more Zion dunks — and a lot more spectacular ones — but you never forget your first.
