For Pelicans fans, it's a good sight to see a healthy Williamson.

When he has been on the floor, the former Duke superstar is among the best 20 players in the NBA.

However, he has missed 65 games over the previous two years.

Tough catch, tuff finish. https://t.co/FQ8UpgpuXR pic.twitter.com/VU01IhqcVx
