New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Green wants to develop an offensive identity. Jake Madison explains how after media day and just one practice you can see that Brandon Ingram will running the offense for the Pels. Plus, if BI has the ball in his hands that means that Zion Williamson will be used off ball more. Jake explains what that looks like and how off ball movement from CJ McCollum and Trey Murphy will be key to making everything work.

So basically we are going to be average at best. You have a generational talent in Zion who had us first in the west when he was leading the Pels. But we are going to go back to the failing BI ball we have tried so much? BI is a good player, but he is not good enough to lead a championship team on offense. Zion is (when healthy).
Glad Nba season is back. Excited for the new season
I'm here
BI fans care more about BI getting stats than winning. Point BI does not work, We saw point BI without Zion and it had us drop from first to 10th. We saw point Zion without BI and it had us first in the west. Jake is being delusional. BI is a good player, but he is no where close to good enough to be the identity of the offense on a top team
Now we talking
This is good news – I thought for while that the team is best with the offense running through BI .. I think BI can easily be a top 10, top 5 players if healthy and used to his strengths
Hit 200k today. I'm really grateful for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 14k in June 2022
I really think the Pels should play more small ball with Zion at the 5 and Nance occasionally. Also Jonas when the time is right. Herb/Trey/BI/Zion need to be starting and playing lots. Either CJ or Dyson as the PG. With Jose getting time as well.
Every dayer!!
Pelicans health ❤
Point zion would be so much better
