A common theme exists everywhere you glance since Alvin Gentry arrived in New Orleans: the Pelicans playing at an increased pace will be a good thing. Yesterday, Anthony Davis joined the bandwagon as he publicly endorsed the Gentry hiring, and stated he is looking forward to the new style.
Now Davis is eager to see how Gentry's coaching philosophy will mesh with the Pelicans' talent. Davis was a high-schooler when Gentry coached the Phoenix Suns to the 2010 Western Conference finals with a fast-paced, high-scoring offense featuring guard Steve Nash and power forward Amar'e Stoudemire.
