Alvin Gentry considering changes to starting lineup
Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY SportsThe New Orleans Pelicans starting lineup of Tyreke Evans, Eric Gordon, Alonzo Gee, Anthony Davis and Omer Asik have been putrid. Over the span of 12 games, the group has a -13.3 net rating. A unit that is supposedly together for defensive purposes has a 117.2 defensive rating. For reference, the Pelicans team defensive rating, ranked 29th in the league, sits at a DRtg of 107.9.
Before Christmas, David made a plea for the New Orleans Pelicans to make changes to the starting lineup. However, a stretch that saw the team go 4-2 before the loss to the Orlando Magic postponed it.
