So who we taking with the #1 pick?
. |
Thank you. Since the then Hornets came to NOLA, I’ve only probably have missed a handful of games. Growing up in this area I always dreamed of us having our own NBA team. Jazz was before my time. I will continue to watch or go to all the games no matter the circumstances. Know why? Because I’m a true fan! If they ever become something real then it will really mean something to me. Band wagon fans won’t experience that true exhilaration. Like when the Saints won the Super Bowl, those of us who cheered for them through years of them not even breaking.500, we felt it!

— Worst net rating
— Worst defense
— 5th Worst offense
— Confusion around Zion’s injury
Oh, they also gave Steven Adams $35M and had to attach a first round pick & Eric Bledsoe to trade him a year later. pic.twitter.com/KPrkZ1v76x
Jaden Ivey deserves more love here.

Hey MM. Wanna wager on Zion returning and the Pelicans making the playoffs? Winner gets the rights to the loser's PR.com signature for one year.
BI, Zion, and CJ had a net rating of +3 when on the court together. BI and Zion had a +13.4, BI and CJ had a +13.2, Zion and CJ was just +5.4.
BI and Zion worked. BI and CJ worked. It was CJ and Zion and all three together that didn't work.
Paolo, Jaden Hardy, Jabari Smith, and Jalen Duran are my guys..
The thing is... I don't see us drafting a PF if Hardy is available unfortunately... Which would be a terrible mistake to fill a need over BPA. You got to go for the most talented player available.
Duran I can understand passing on him. It's a really hard sell to draft a back up top 5 when you have a top 10 center and Hayes. Granted... It's a no Brainer to dump hayes and have Duran be the back up for a couple of years.

Hardy looks like best shooter coming out and Duran looks like fiercest stud of the lot. either one makes the Pels better
His name is Duren, not Duran. I do like the idea of an 80s synthpop group made out of NBA players though.
Won't lie I'm just not excited about Paolo and Chet. Banchero gives me Boozer vibes which is cool but eh, and Chet is a better version of Poku from last year draft and will take a ton of time to develop body wise.
I was hoping for a quick difference maker in this draft class but not seeing it yet. Still early but eh not forcing myself to like guys because I'm desperate Pels fan. If we got the top 3 pick I would trade it for sure for someone like SGA.
When Carlos Boozer starts bombing step-back off the dribble threes against hard doubles at 28 feet, which Paolo Banchero did fairly often pre-college, then I'll reconsider the Boozer comparison.
I don't see anyone in this draft on that all-time-mega-elite prospect tier, so if you're asking if I see Paolo as Luka Doncic, the answer is no, but I certainly don't see him as Marvin Bagley lmao
