Trevor Ritchie and I are back with analysis of New Orleans Pelicans Media Day, top-100 NBA player rankings from ESPN and Sports Illustrated, Anthony Davis’ change in representation and the first two preseason games (vs Bulls, Hawks) of the schedule.
From Media Day, we go in-depth on the new additions of Julius Randle and Elfrid Payton, the confidence exhibited by Davis and Jrue Holiday, and the future of Frank Jackson. We also discuss the team’s potential to lead the league in pace, especially if they play as fast as coach Alvin Gentry wants.
