Nicolo Melli and Zion Williamson are the most dynamic rookie bigman tandem that I can think of in a long time. The realities of the NBA draft are such that it's hard to get even one young stud big, much less two. You can try and game the system by drafting Euro stashes or maybe a guy who will miss a whole year so he can still be a rookie in the next one, but it's still hard. And the Pelicans have pulled it off. With aplomb. Melli and Williamson complement each other perfectly. Williamson likes to dunk and be a beast inside, overpowering people with his strength, while Melli likes to hang around the three-point line and be a soft Euro, overpowering people with his skills. Normal bigman tandems get in each other's way a lot, in a way that makes them both less effective. Not so in New Orleans. It's perfect. Absolutely a perfect fit. Whoever made the bold decision to draft Williamson and then pluck Melli from whatever Euro team he was playing with deserves a raise. In recognition of the beastitude of this rookie pairing, I have created a brand new nickname for them: "Fuoco E Ghiaccio". That means "Fire and Ice" in Italian, a nod to Melli's Italian heritage. Williamson can be the "Fuoco", and Melli can be the "Ghiaccio". Or Melli can be the "Fuoco" and Williamson can be the "Ghiaccio". It doesn't really matter which one is which. All that matters is that one of them is hot and dynamic and the other is suave and cool. Remember, if you choose to use this nickname in any of your works, or even say it out loud, it's 25 dollars per use.
