Zion Williamson can be a joy to watch on the basketball court, at least when he manages to find his way onto one. Pardon the sarcasm, but Williamson missed the entire 2021-22 season recovering from foot surgery, and his missing myriad games was hardly a new thing.

Williamson participated in only 85 games during his first three NBA seasons, due to various ailments. Now presumed to be healthy, fantasy managers seem a bit too eager to covet Williamson, even though we can hardly presume anything.
