The Bird Calls Podcast Ep. 27: Discussing individual expectations and roles on the New Orleans Pelicans

The biggest topic of conversation around water coolers remains the New Orleans Pelicans small forward position, and it’s no different for us here at The Bird Writes.

Travis wouldn’t start Tony Allen, preferring to bring him off the bench when Rajon Rondo takes his first break. Instead, Darius Miller seems to be the most natural fit. On the other hand, Preston brings up the point that Allen was signed to body up the league’s biggest and best wings. If you bring TA off the bench, his ability to influence the game defensively lessens, as he would spend more time guarding reserves.
