One nation, under Zion - Official 2021-2022 New Orleans Pelicans Thread

@Dwayne, let me know when you're ready to take off your Lonzo colored glasses and talk about what his role should be on this team and not what you want it to be
 
I also think Reddick will be fine. It's frustrating to watch but I think he will be fine.

I want Josh Hart to stop pump faking and passing up open looks. If you not gonna draw the contact to get the foul then stop pump faking to drive and turning it over.

I got maybe 3 back and forths before I won't care anymore and I can get back to what's been taking all my time lately

What do you have that suggests the Pelicans will be a better team doing what you suggest.

This question doesn't count against my quota

I was hoping to have an honest convo about this. This wasn't a gotcha moment so I'll present something and how about you offer a counter point.

Lonzo is near the bottom when it comes to points generated off the PnR despite him touching the ball more than any other player on the roster. He refuses to drive with the intent to score, doesn't have a floater and is a horrific FT shooter. How does this fall on bledsoe?

For instance, he currently is near the top of the list of players with the most TOs with the fewest drives to the basket. For comparison, Ish Smith grades better with more drives to the basket and far fewer turnovers and only making $6M this year.

At least when bledsoe drives, for the most part, it leads to him being fouled, him scoring or him assisting with a turnover sprinkled in occasionally. Lonzo gives you turnovers and lots of them and nothing else.

I say this to say, I think you are blinded by the half court oops to Zion and while I like those same highlights, I'm not blinded by his shortcomings at this point in his career.

This goes back to last season too btw. Prior to this season, lonzo shot 38.9% on catch and shoot 3s. I can't remember the exact percent but when he took just one dribble, that shit plummeted to like 20 something percent if not lower but don't quote me on that.

He was also outplayed by his baby brother on national TV who is a rookie in the NBA. Melo is now at this point a legit threat to score going at the basket. Even if he misses the defense has to respect his drive to the paint and when they overcommit, his instinct to either attack to score or make the right pass immediately kick in.

Why are you so against him being a 3 and D wing playing primarily off ball?
 
Lastly, there hasn't been a single game this year where BI or bledsoe have not been on the floor in some shape or fashion. SVG has to stagger them because currently no one can create shots for themselves or teammates.

If Lonzo is better than Bledsoe, why is this the case?
 
I also just noticed I quoted your post after your edit.

Fam, you gotta stop thinking niggas is out to get you. Well I'ma speak for myself. I've never been disrespectful towards you even when I've disagreed. You from the boot so I'm automatically riding with you just off that alone. Keep that energy for those dudes b.
 
Bledsoe ain’t creating shots for nobody. Him and Zo are playing the same.
One is better defensively and at least a threat to stretch the defense. While Bledsoe just clogs up everything and makes it harder for BI and Zion

I watched all but 1 game and dude is supposed to be this scorer and can’t score. That’s a problem. A huge problem.

we have the worse bench in the nba. And if your boy is who he’s suppose to be he needs to run the second unit.

So you totally disregard everything I said about lonzo because bledsoe fails your eye test?

He fails more than the eye test.

you said Bledsoe is a scorer right?
We have the worse bench in the league right?
Him starting ain’t giving us the offense we need right?
Our starters can’t shoot the 3 right?
JJ struggling coming off the bench right?



change the lineup and put Bledsoe as the 6 man and JJ in the starting lineup
 
I didn't say bledsoe was a scorer although his career average is down

I specifically stated what bledsoe is better at than lonzo

The starters can shoot, unfortunately, they've had some extremely shitty luck with the shots not falling.
 
I just traded for Zion in one of my fantasy league. Look like the previous owner freaked out over the Covid bullshit. Do i need to be worried?
