The New Orleans-Pelikans did a number of questionable things this season, such as giving up the rights to their first round pick next season to gain Derik Queen. Or such as the preparation of Jeremiah, fears the day after the action for Jordan Poole. And even in the eyes of some people it was not to exchange Zion Williamson a bone decision. One movement that I will continue to defend, no matter how difficult it will be, the CJ McCollum Jordan Poole -Swap is.
Poole has not always been someone I have been a fan of. During his time at the Golden State Warriors, I always thought he was a matte defender, who was also incredibly inefficient and would never be anyone who could influence winning in a major role. Despite these thoughts that I had about Poole, one thing I never took away from him is his ability to have his own chance.
Over time I grew to Poole after I saw how instrumental he was during the 2022 championship with the Warriors. I started to see that he could really influence a winning team. Poole now brings a winning mentality, but more importantly, he solves one of the most important mistakes of this team: Schot creation.
This will help bring the pelican attack to a whole new level
In the course of the era of Zion Williamson there was never really an elite shot maker who played next to him. Of course, when New Orleans acquired CJ McCollum, he was still a good maker, but not at the level that Jordan Poole is currently. If you have someone with the opportunity to create space in a telephone booth, Willie Green and James Brego can become extremely creative when creating the offensive schedule for this season.
Being able to fall back on the late shot clock of Poole When a play blows, this team will help to generate points in situations they do not have in recent years. Moreover, last season he should have had incredible growth as a three-point shooter, where he shoots 9.1 three-Pointers per match on a clip of 37.8%. This type of efficiency from the range is also something that the Pelicans missed, because they were a Bottom-Five team that shoot the three ball last season.
His ability as a shotmaker will open the game for both elite wings of the Pelicans, Herb Jones and Trey Murphy. Being able to make his shot with Poole and get a bucket of almost everywhere on the field, it will force defenders to help their husbands and to lead to open appearance from the corner or the wing.
People underestimate how big an impact is to add shot creation will have the victory of the Pelicans in total next season.
