During his introductory press conference as head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans, Jahmal Mosley indicated he wants to help Zion Williamson reach his potential.

"He hasn't even scratched the surface of things he can do," Mosley told reporters. "I really do believe that. And I think being able to open the floor up more for him, attacking, being able to play him in different positions, because he's an excellent basketball player with a high IQ for playmaking, for making guys around him better, knowing when to make plays and the right passes to make."

Mosley joins the Pelicans as head coach after three seasons with the Orlando Magic. Mosley coached a pair of big playmakers with the Magic in Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner.

Williamson averaged 21 points, 5.7 rebounds and 60% shooting in 62 games last season as he stayed healthy.

"I think just opening the floor up a lot more for him to attack the basket, giving space, being able to live at the free throw line consistently," Mosley said of how he wants to capitalize on Williamson's skill set. "Some of the things he's done here have been obviously spectacular -- and so just making sure that we continue that along with us being healthy."
