Instead of conforming to a league whose adulation continues to grow by the day for small ball, the New Orleans Pelicans hope to flaunt their physical advantages as often as possible this upcoming season.
The Pelicans offensive game plan will consist of a different script than much of the rest of their brethren in the league, but this alone isn’t breaking news. Alvin Gentry is already on record for stating that the team would be foolish to not try and take advantage of their larger size against smaller competition. What’s different now is it appears the Pelicans might push all of their chips into the middle on this #DoItBig strategy.
