Spacing has become one of the pet issues of New Orleans Pelicans fans since the team drafted Zion Williamson with the number one pick.
Williamson is the NBA’s best post player, a guy who lives in the paint and has a wide body that needs space to operate.
That is why the trade for Steven Adams never really made sense, as he is a guy who also needs to be in the lane to be effective. Couple that with the Pelicans’ lack of shooting and the result was a predictable offense that wasn’t very dynamic and relied too heavily on Williamson’s physical dominance in the half court.
