The New Orleans Pelicans are playing poorly and when that happens everyone wants to blame the coach but it’s time to spread it around.
I’ll be the first to admit that I was skeptical about the Stan Van Gundy hiring, as it seemed more about the “name” than the fit.
I will also say that Stan Van Gundy has not done the best job of utilizing his talent, as he has guys playing in unfamiliar roles, particularly Lonzo Ball, who has no idea what he is on this team.
