Close your eyes. Picture a Pelicans guard jogging the ball up the court. Now, imagine the sort of action going on around him. Maybe that guard gives it up to one of his taller teammates on the elbow, and sets a pick for another guard. Maybe he initiates a pick-and-roll with the rest of his teammates dotting the floor around him. Often, it is the former, but since Tyreke Evans has returned from injury, it is too often the latter.
Alexis Ajinca, Anthony Davis and Ryan Anderson are capable of creating space with their size, forming effective picks while also passing or handing the ball off.
