If you look at the statistics since Zion Williamson‘s return, you’d think that the New Orleans Pelicans were dominating.
Since Zion came back, the Pelicans have the top scoring offense in the NBA and the 8th rated defense. They have averaged more assists per game than anyone in the NBA, and are second in offensive rebounding.
The problem is that all of those great numbers only resulted in a 10-9 record in the 19 games that Zion has played with the Pelicans.
There are several reasons the Pelicans couldn’t translate their high scoring and good defense into more wins.
