Skill sets of Pelicans just aren’t complimentary offensively. Plenty of talented players but no upper tier catch and shoot players, several complete non shooters in the starting five, Adams particularly as well as lack of overall shooting clogs the lane for Zion. Defense actually isn’t horrible both of their starting guards are quality defenders, Adams is average. Backups are pretty bad on d I guess.
5 of Utah’s 8 primary rotation players have been playing together forever Mitchell, Ingles, Favors, Gobert, O’Neal’s all been there 4+ years other than one season in NOLA for Favors, the other three in second season there.
