New Orleans Pelicans: Should Omer Asik or Terrence Jones get more playing time?

Omer Asik did not have a good 2015-2016 season for the New Orleans Pelicans.

In 68 games, Omer Asik finished with around four points, six rebounds and one turnover in just over 17 minutes per game.

This is coming off getting a brand new four year, $58 million deal. It’s a major reason he averaged nine minutes less than he did in the 2014-2015 campaign. The New Orleans Pelicans found other outlets to help them stay competitive in games.

It’s a big reason the team went out and drafted Chieck Diallo in the NBA Draft.
