This Pelicans Team Could Be A PROBLEM

The Pelicans are a really weird team because in the midst of a 21- win season, we saw some serious growth to Trey Murphy’s offensive game. And now he’ll be able to slot back into a role more fit for his skill set alongside Zion, who’s in the best shape of his career. Anytime Zion’s been on the court, he’s been one of the best interior scorers we’ve ever seen to the point where it takes all five defenders to guard him and he’s a good enough passer to find the openings. So, it’s really as simple as surrounding him with guys who can finish plays and you’re guaranteed a good offense. They’ve done exactly that. Eve Me is the ideal vertical spacer. Jordan Pool’s a highle shooter who can also handle the ball, create and unlock Zion’s softball game. And they’ve got a few young wings who fit the bill. With all of that said though, this is a remarkably weak defensive roster that’s one injury away from an offensive collapse. So, it’s still about the future. Cavan Looney mentoring Young Bigs.

The New Orleans Pelicans are maybe the NBA’s weirdest team, balancing a long history of injuries with a talented young roster after an active offseason. But are they good enough to compete in the West?

  1. Their defense is going to be awful. If Herb Jones gets hurt it could be historically bad. Nobody else can play defense on that team (Murphy is ok but he can’t make up for the rest in any real way).

  2. I swear it Hurts my Soul seeing Zions Potential get wasted like it does just cuz he is inna bum ass organization … he gettin Wealthy anyway ig
    Still sad he could be a MONSTER
