Pelicans are actually making pretty successful defensive rotations w/ Zion and Poole being out.

Yeah because we're so long, and only Herb is good at matching up against guys 1 on 1, a matchup zone from time to time plays to our strengths

Pels are getting really good at zone defense. This might be a good weapon come playoff time

I'm not ready to give up on him. He has some major holes in this game but he also has some promise. He's a player that we can develop over time.

re: How close are we to winning the whole thing?

If fully healthy, this current roster can win a series, maybe 2. Mediocre 3-point shooting and lack of post defense would kill us against opponents deep in the playoffs
re: CJ McCollum for Chris Paul?

I think we have a top 10, maybe top 5 team on paper. What we need is a better training staff and/or players to take their maintenance and health more seriously.
I believe we were #2 in man-games lost.
We don't need a traditional point guard IMO. We just need health. As stated a few posts above, very few successful NBA teams have a traditional PG anymore

I don't know. We need more 3-point shooting
Maybe we should trade Zion for Eric Gordon.

re: Will we see any MAJOR changes this offseason?
Posted by sleepingbunch on 4/14/23 at 12:56 pm to Fun Bunch
To me, a really great major change that could happen outside of your parameters are changes to the medical staff and training.
Also an assistant coach that specializes in installing a crisp offense is a must.

re: Shams: Pels Don't Think Zion Even Close to Coming Back
Posted by sleepingbunch on 4/11/23 at 6:45 am to Pels_Yaz
Zion is young, and clearly might not be making the best decisions or taking great care of himself, but I also REALLY don't trust Griff.
He's misled Pels fans many times before, and has continued to mislead fans about Zion's injury diagnosis. I don't trust a word that comes out of his mouth.

re: Zion Trade Hypothetical
Posted by sleepingbunch on 4/10/23 at 3:02 pm to Snipe
That scenario is pretty one-sided in our favor. We should do that in a heartbeat, but I think Blazers fans would be furious about the trade from their side.

Trey and Herb are the real deal. That 2021 draft was awesome.
Without that draft, this team might be in full rebuild mode. I don't think we're winning anything in march/april without those 2 guys.

re: Pels vs Pistons: how bad do we want it?
Posted by sleepingbunch on 12/7/22 at 9:43 pm to Broski
This season is a marathon, not a sprint. It makes sense for CJ to take a lot of shots in a very winnable game 24 out of 82 against a super young Pistons team. At some point, he needs to snap out of his rut - he hasn't forgotten how to play basketball.
I'm fine with giving CJ a lot of run now even though it looks ugly due to his rust and rough start. Come playoff time, we will need Zion/BI/CJ all playing together at an optimum level.

re: Give Naji his due
Posted by sleepingbunch on 12/5/22 at 3:21 pm to teke184
Love Naji. Great player for team morale, enforcer, and just skilled enough to stay on the court and make a difference. He has a very versatile skill set. He's been great about getting the ball to hot players lately. He's kind of a B-minus at just about every skill, but isn't terrible at anything and can defend multiple positions. His one-man fast breaks can be fun sometimes as well. A great guy to have off the bench.

re: We need shooting
Posted by sleepingbunch on 10/24/22 at 12:10 pm to aswemajor
A quick answer to all this is just more shots for Murphy. Murphy played 39 Min against the Jazz, and went only 3/4 from 3. I wish he would have had 8 to 10 attempts. It should be a significant part of the gameplan to seek him out for these shots, especially if Zion/BI draw doubles down the road.
If Trey has between 20-30 min per game off the bench and gets off between 8-12 3's a game, that brings the Pels to the middle of the pack as far as 3 point shooting - and with our interior game, we don't need to be higher than that.

re: who will lead the pels in assists next season?
Posted by sleepingbunch on 8/21/22 at 5:52 pm to cgrand
It's got to be Ingram, as long as everyone is healthy. He might have the ball in hands the most, and has been steadily gaining some distributor/point forward skills last season. He won't be the #1 scorer anymore, and he'll have the ball a ton, so it just makes sense. CJ #2.
re: Realistic Expectations
Posted by sleepingbunch on 7/16/22 at 7:33 pm to Colonel Flagg
I actually think clearly our biggest flaw is 3 point shooting, being that we were 28th in the NBA last season beyond the arc and we have the same lineup returning. 3 point shooting should open up with Zion's addition, but if we can't take advantage of defenses collapsing Zion by hitting our 3's, then there could be problems.
re: I can't stand Naji Marshall. I don't care if it is Summer League.
Posted by sleepingbunch on 7/10/22 at 8:27 pm to BayouFann
Too much recency bias here - blasting a guy because of how bad of a summer league player he is is kind of goofy.
Naji was in the bench rotation throughout our playoff series and didn't try any heroball. He hustled for loose balls, played decent defense, had a few breakaway dunks, and only was in for around 10-12 minutes a game. We could do much worse for that amount of playing time. I care much more about the player he was the last 20 games of the regular season and the playoffs rather than the moronic stuff he does during summer league, and that early season wanna be Kobe phase.
I like what he brings to the table off the bench for a few minutes a game. In the starting lineup, as a focal point of the offense, he's terrible....but that only happens in summer league so who cares.

Jose > Graham > Kira > Jared Harper right now IMO.
Maybe Kira > Graham in a year or two. Either way, we'll be debating over our #3 PG option.

Jake's podcast gives daily Pels content, which is hard to do. It's good, not great....but I'm happy to have it. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. His takes aren't terrible or outrageous, it's nice casual listening.

I love listening to him break stuff down - this was a really cool interview. Potential future coaching skills as well. We picked up a smart, hard working 1st round talent in the 2nd - 2 years in a row
re: Give me your top 3 that you want for Pels at 8 spot
Posted by sleepingbunch on 5/25/22 at 2:40 pm to Chad504boy
Johnny Davis and Sochan are my top 2 for sure. Unsure of a 3rd guy I really want. I think we need to keep the culture going of young guys who are dogs that play defense, which both of them are. Davis is probably my #1 because he is a scorer, can learn to shoot, is clearly a hustler and hard worker, and definitely defends well. He'd be a great fit.
I'd be down for a Mathurin pick if we could get him to be defensively committed, and I just have no idea if he would bring it on that end. He's definitely the shooter the team needs, but I want hustle/defensive committment first and foremost.

re: Would you be pleased w/ Tari Eason at 7-10?
Posted by sleepingbunch on 5/6/22 at 5:15 pm to hassan whiteside
On one hand I think he'll be good in the NBA. He has a versatile skillset and is solid on defense. If he's clearly BPA (which I don't think he will be at #8), we should take him.
That being said, if we're drafting for fit, there seems to be a consensus that the Pels need a bigger guard, and that outside scoring is the team's greatest weakness.
I think Eason's a little redundant if we're starting BI+ Zion, and off the bench we have Nance and are looking to continue to develop Hayes and TM3. That could also leave us trotting out two tiny guards in the backup rotation depending on how things shake out.
I don't mind Eason, and wouldn't complain about the pick, but I don't think he's the best fit and I don't think we would be able to play him much unless we're moving some guys.

Posted by sleepingbunch on 5/2/22 at 9:41 am to BamaPelican
I think Agbaji is our best fit, followed by Mathurin if we pick at 8. For our team culture, having another very willing defender (agbaji) would be awesome...hes solid enough at 3 + the Vinson magic to where he can be a real nba 3+d threat.
