I want Rondo as a assistant coach
Head Coach...
Yes!! There can be a starter.
Please Coach Willie Green, play this pick like Mavs Lively
I think the only two centers we should seriously consider is Ware and Holmes. I wouldn’t even entertain any others
With the BI trade being in the air it wouldn’t be a horrible decision to try to send bi and our #21 pick to the spurs for their #4 and #8 picks . Gets Holmes and Jared McCain. I think McCain has Maxey type Potential and Homes could develop into what we’ve seen from Naz Reid. Karlo Maktovic is still in our pocket as well
The strategy I wanna see trust our stars ,role players and development team
Adem Bona is another big guy I’ve heard good things about. He’s got the height weight wingspan, is billed as an athlete, and got good reviews on his jumpshot at the combine. Maybe, I am misinformed though, I’ve honestly only managed to hear a little about him.
Kel'el ware 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 hopefully
Problem is Kel'el is allergic to defense.
What teams picking ahead of the Pelicans don’t have a young big man in their core? I expect more teams to go with these more trustworthy big guy prospects than I’m seeing in mock drafts. The state of the point guard position in the nba is such that a point guard really needs to be excellent. CJ McCollum isn’t good enough for the Pels, and he’s a damn good player… A rookie point guard going at pick 21 can play a role, but is unlikely to be a strength of the team in a playoff situation. A big man doesn’t have to excellent to become a starter. A big man just needs the physical tools and some seasoning, and hopefully will hit free throws. Bigs also get hurt more so you need more of them.
There are guys who I trust will be good players even if they don’t fit the Pels need… IE: if Ja’Kobe Walter somehow falls etc
Walter would have value in a trade.
Isaiah Collier seems like a safe pick to become a solid pro.
Best player available, if they can play more or less right away / or at most within a year.
I Agree 💯
There's drafting a "starter" and then there's actually playing a "starter"..
Willie not playing him regardless. 🤷♂️🤦🏽♂️😂🤣
You got that right. Look at Hawkins, set on the bench most of the season.
@@christopherchurch2653 it’s called being realistic and holding them accountable for their actions…..take off the rose colored tinted glasses…
You don't talk about Tylwr Smith much but I think he would be a great for next to Zion, especially if we move Ingram.
Any pick beyond 15 or so is like to be developmental the first year or so. Even Maxie and Braun only played 15 min per game their rookie yr. I suspect this is especially true for 20 year old centers with limited experience. Drafting one of those mentioned is great. Counting on them to be one of your top 5 players in yr 1 may be a stretch.
Hi Jake
Take a look at Ariel Hukporti
Pels could get a steal at 21. Somebody projected to go in the lottery could fall.

Jake I gotta ask where is the foresight with this organisation? We can’t even draft talent at times because willie won’t play guys? That’s a coach that needs to be fired. Todays nba requires shooting and Willie only likes defensive minded guys we will never develop scoring power. There’s absolute zero creativity with Willie there and when you asked where willie ranks among coaches he’s definitely at the bottom
