And help he will.
Holiday is an excellent player, despite injuries and a minutes restriction he posted a PER of 19.7—a career high. And while Holiday is sorely needed his timing will be off, and he will not fix everything himself. But there is one area he can improve the Pelicans’ offense right away.
The pick and roll.
Take a look at the table below:
Last season the Pelicans ranked as the 9th and 7th best roll man and ball handler team respectively. This season you can see their points per play with the roll man (read: Anthony Davis) is up significantly, and their ranking has jumped all the way to 6th best in the league.
