Love Seeing Derik Queen atop the Potential Assists chart.
1) I believe the offense works best when DQ is the main distributor & he needs the reps for his development.
2) I don’t want Fears or Poole making decisions, I want them making shots.
3) Jose still can probe defenses à la Nash.

Pelicans registered 54 potential assists last night, which by my count is the second best total in the NBA this season for regulation.
85.7% rim and three frequency (Pels second highest of the season). But they only converted on 28 asts.

90% of the time there's off-the-court news about Zion Williamson, it's deeply unsettling. And the other 10% is usually about Naruto.

And that Dejounte Murray has added more on-court value to the Pelicans this season than Jordan Poole
The problem with the guard play:
Jordan Poole makes the same mistakes as Jeremiah Fears.

The guard play of the Pels is just so rough. They need help there yesterday. Jose does his best, but I truly think he's overextended & constantly punches above his weight. Poole is not it. Poole is best being the guard off the bench after Jose.

The Wizards have run a masterclass in asset management over the past couple of years -- they turned Kyle Kuzma into positive value. They got in on the Pelicans Front Office Mayhem, and now they might get paid to take on Trae Young!

Non-Trey Murphy Pelicans went 4-23 from 3.
Zion missed 4-5 FTAs
Jordan Poole went 0/4 and had 3 turnovers in 18 minutes.
That’s how you lose basketball games.

Hard to make the case to Pels fans that Poole was pretty cool and good as the vet on the Wizards. He scored and bent defenses enough to make playing for the Wizards a little bit easier. The Wiz had miserable vets (Kuzma) but Poole becoming a Misery Machine on the Pels is surprising.

Tyler Ford, overturned a Zion and-1, a DQ And-1 and a 3 shot foul from Trey Murphy.
And they just missed LaRavia being outta bounds.
It’s a 9 point Lakers lead.
