Kevin Barrios: Jrue should start immediately. He's the 2nd best player. He isn't battling injury. He needs to learn to play with the guys he's hopefully going to play with all year. He may start off rusty, but he knows AD, Asik and Cunningham. The sooner he starts learning Moore, Jones, Hield and Hill's tendencies the better. We started Orlando Jones without even a practice. I think Jrue is in a better spot to jump right in.
Chris Cucchiara: The Pelicans should be concerned with managing Jrue's minutes in the short term.
