The youth movement is beginning now for the New Orleans Pelicans, whether they like it or not, and a part of that youth movement was always going to be Lonzo Ball. As the team continues to struggle around him, the crafty guard is continuing to improve in year three.
With a 7-23 record and coming off a loss to the league-worst Golden State Warriors, it couldn’t get a whole lot worse for the Pelicans, who are 1-14 in their last 15 games.
However, the team has to be inspired by the smart basketball currently being played by Lonzo, who’s cut down on a lot of the bad shot selection on listless turnovers that forced him to the bench last month.
