New Orleans Pelicans Season Preview: Alonzo Gee’s Athleticism May Not Be Enough

Related Topics: New Orleans Pelicans, Alonzo Gee

The New Orleans Pelicans’ central theme of change this offseason is not good for Alonzo Gee.

At 29 years old, Gee is a veteran presence on this team. Sans Omer Asik, he’s the oldest player on the current roster. The team has leaned on his seven years in the NBA to help remedy the youth of their core players.

However, it may not be enough to make the team this year.

New Orleans is working on a new identity. The main focus comes down to flexibility and balance. The new Pelicans want their players to be well-rounded in all departments of the game.
