The Pelicans in New Orleans had a busy first season among the new president of basketball operations Joe Dumars. He was brought in to overhaul the team after a disastrous season 2024-25 in which the Pelicans had the second worst record in the NBA.
Dumars made a lot of movements, starting with the addition of Jordan Poole and Saddiq Bey. Subsequently, shortly thereafter, he brought three rookies, of which 2 loter -choices in Jeremiah Fears, Derik Queen and Micah Peavy in the second round. He then brought a 3 -turn NBA champion, Kevon Looney, at the start of the Free Office.
Under all the movements made this summer, there is no movement that many fans did not expect. Many, including myself, expected that a coaching change would happen with the arrival of Dumars, but Willie Green and his staff would come back.
An important part of this staff In the past few seasons is James Bego, who was introduced during the 2023-24 season to bring something new in the attack of the Pelicans.
With the movements that Dumars made this summer, pelican staff is much more talented than defensive. Because head coach Willie Green is a defensive man, this can be problematic, because for the Pelicans to have a winning season, they have to rely heavier on their attack 9itan their defense.
Fortunately for Green, he has one of the best attacking spirits of the competition about his staff in Brego.
Can the pelicans be a top activity under the leadership of Brego?
In his first year with the Pelicans, Brego helped their attacking rating from the 21st in the competition to 11th. That is not an easy task, especially in view of the fact that New Orleans has not made any significant grilles between the 2022-23 season and the 2023-24 season.
Also, during his time as head coach of the Charlotte Hornets, he somehow led them to the 12th best offensive rating during the 2018-19 season, despite working with a faint schedule. I promise you if you have looked at grilleYou would be shocked that BREGO could bring them where they were.
His ability to absolutely get the most out of teams makes it clear why he was a top candidate to fill the vacancy of the Knicks head coach before they landed on Mike Brown.
With the additions of fears, Poole and Queen, the Pelicans have more talent in the offensive end than they have ever had during the era of Zion Williamson. I can’t wait to see what Brego is cooking in the 2025-26 season, because he has more weapons than ever before.
