Before the season started, I bristled whenever someone mocked the Pelicans acquisitions over the summer. I liked a lot of those signings – Frazier, Galloway, Moore – these guys are NBA rotation players. I liked the idea of Hill. (should we start calling him Silent Hill? There’s something there between a Horror Video Game and a Horror Basketball Player, Right?)
I was dead wrong. Those guys aren’t moving the needle. Hell, these guys aren’t even in the same room with the needle. The injured guys aren’t coming back and picking up that needle. Even Jrue, at best, is probably an average starting point guard.
