Fred Eugene ParkPublished 6 years ago in UnbalancedPredictions: New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans have already established themselves as a playoff contending team, but the question is, how far can they go? I think one of the biggest questions is how losing DeMarcus Cousins will affect them. The Pelicans were already a decent team before they added Boogie, but another all-star definitely elevates their game. The problem is that it didn’t. The Pelicans didn’t really seem to improve with Boogie on the team. In fact, it seemed like the Pelicans played better when he was out with injury than with him on the court. Facing two superstar big men is no fun to think about, but Boogie doesn’t help the team chemistry at all and that hurts. When Boogie got hurt and was ruled out for the rest of the year, the Pelicans made a move to get Nikola Mirotic. At the time, to me, it didn’t seem like the greatest move and that they were just desperate and traded away some valuable role players along with a draft pick, but in the end, the move ended up being great for the Pelicans. Mirotic showed that he played very well in the Pelicans system, and in the 30 games he played in NO, he averaged almost 15 PPG.
