New Orleans Pelicans hire Stan Van Gundy

From what I've read, Gundy is a great strategist (in and out of games), relentlessly hard worker, and employs sound defensive principles. All those things will pay immediate dividends for the team. Reddick respecting him will go a long way towards Zion doing the same, and he seems very teachable. This is a good hire, and I'm relieved we didn't settle for the likes of Jason Kidd, which sends the wrong message if Griffin is truly trying to build a high character foundation from the inside out.

All in all, I really like this. I expect to see much better rotations, and execution on the court. At minimum I think he will get them playing up to their potential by years end.
