Literally starting Kevon Looney again, in these circumstances (allegedly), is insane.

Yes! Play towards your strengths then lay a foundation of doing picking up the easy shit (Getting defensive rebounds, getting back in transition & defending without fouling.)
The Pelicans have to improve on defense but it just not in this roster’s nature to be this hard nose lunch-pale defensive team.
They can build an offensive show around Derik Queen and speedy Jeremiah Fears, however.
And it’s what they should do. They need a coach that will unlock that.

Derik Queen has only played 8 minutes with 3:46 left to go before the 4th.

The Pelicans have no offensive identity and the one player that can help with that doesn’t start.
