Spartica4Real Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Lonzo, Jrue, Ingram, Zion, Favors Frank, Reddick, Moore, Hart, NAW, Melli, Hayes, Okafor Logjam going on in the backcourt but wow we got a nice team with a ton of potential on it. If even a couple of young, potential laden guys work out on this team we're gonna be nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I saw a projected lineup that has Lonzo coming off the bench and Holiday/Redick as the two starting guards. It's going to be hilarious when Lavar Ball is consistently trashing the Pelicans and their coaching staff if Lonzo does come off the bench lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be much PT left for Josh Hart though. Moore has to be on the way out. He's too good for the small role he'd now probably play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they acquired Redick, it makes sense for him to be a starter because of his shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how highly Gentry supposedly thinks of him I think Ball starts and JJ is the 6th man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the best defensive back court in basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell is a really good player and is just turned 23. Honestly, scoring for the Pelicans might be tough. It's hard to say how Zion will transition to the league, especially over the next two years. He really needs to work on his jumper big time. Lonzo can't really score very much. Favors is a really good player, but he's essentially a 10 PPG guy. Russell would probably be the best scorer on that team along with Ingram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartica4Real Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Obligatory lol preseason but Zion looks great. Lonzo's shot looks improved. Bench mob looking nasty, especially NAW. Hype hype Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holiday starts, Reddick, Hart and a very impressive rookie in NAW. someone has to go.. or everyone is going to be out of rhythm. As I mentioned with Boston last season, having too many ball needy players makes for everyone playing less efficient. Zion has looked superb in preseason. Hard to look better. Yet preseason defense is non existent. Edited October 12, 2019 by resilient part 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet preseason defense is non existent. Jrue can play PG when Lonzo is on the bench, typically with Reddick Full bench squad would have Frank Jackson and NAW Hart will probably just have normal rotational minutes We will also probably run a lot of 3 guard looks as our wing options are few and far in between after BI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think either Moore or Hart gets traded, maybe Redick if we fall out of the playoff hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
