The Zion Williamson era hasn't gone the way the New Orleans Pelicans have hoped. Even though the team had Zion, Brandon Ingram, CJ McCollum, and a plethora of talented role players, they've never won a single playoff series.

Pelicans star power forward Zion Williamson says his second triple-double in two weeks exemplifies his focus on building now for a better future.
