Things are getting dicey for the New Orleans Pelicans as they’ve plummeted to 14th place in the Western Conference, just 3 games ahead of the injury-excused Golden State Warriors for the worst record in the league.
With plenty of blame and fingerpointing to go around from all angles of the organization, one of the most frustrating players to watch has been point guard Lonzo Ball, who has looked both like a brilliant, multi-tooled leading guard and at like he belongs in the team’s second unit.
Starting in 10, but only playing in 13 of the team’s 21 games so far this season, we don’t have the biggest sample size for Lonzo, but there’s certainly reason for discouragement.
