The New Orleans Pelicans fell short of the fan’s expectations and team’s goals this season. They finished below the playoff spots this season, and next season’s roster is filled with uncertainty. However, David Griffin has decided to retain Alvin Gentry, and reactions to this are mostly optimistic.
Keeping Gentry means the style of play will be recognizable. The Pelicans’ core principles have been in place for a few years now with mixed results. Team injuries only excuse so much. A team’s playing habits will permeate the roster and show up in the team’s overall stats.
