It would seem basketball fans in the Big Easy have moved on from Anthony Davis.

Approximately 10,000 fans turned out for the Pelicans' open scrimmage in New Orleans on Saturday night, according to ESPN's Andrew Lopez.

Rookie sensation Zion Williamson gave the crowd what it came to see, demonstrating his prowess on both ends of the floor with a block followed by an alley-oop dunk set up by Lonzo Ball.

"I know the people have been wanting to see the Lonzo-Z connection, so we tried to give that to them," Williamson said.
