My opinion to start the year was that either SVG would win Coach of the Year or be out of work. Looks like it was the latter and he should have been fired. There is clearly enough talent there for the Pels to have been a strong playoff team.
Which team are they knocking out of the playoffs?
Think most would say they have more talent than memphis
Well Zion is the best player on either team, but Memphis is a much more cohesive team in part because of Morant's flexibility. He can actually make it work a bigger plodding center whereas Zion just doesn't work well with that type of player. New Orleans is pretty young and just doesn't have the right mix of player to pair with Zion. Ball, Bledsoe, and Adams are just terrible fits next to him and frankly him and Ingram aren't a great fit either (they are just talented enough to generally make it work ok as a duo).
