Or he could be more like Jason Tatum. Duke has produced a lot of very good to great NBA players

We are talking about the Pelicans. Not the Celtics. Very big difference.

What does Duke University have to do with that?

What does Duke University have to do with that?

Pelicans staff won’t know what to do with whoever we draft. Especially if Willie returns another season. Look how Dyson Daniels has blossomed in Atlanta. Hayes is starting for the Lakers. Let that sink in .

Do you think Tatum would be successful here?

First of all, Hayes is only starting because the Lakers have nothing for rim protection. Memphis just got nearly 70 points in the paint on them.

Second, if that is your reasoning then it doesn't matter who we draft so why be high on Ace and not Flagg?

So if your issue is with the Pels, why try to promote Ace and minimize Flagg? Hell why advocate for anybody in the draft if that is your opinion? It makes no sense whatsoever

You compared Flagg to Tatum. Who would you compare Zion to when he was at Duke?

Careful what you wish for

Go back and read. You were talking up Ace (which I agree would be a good pick at the 4 spot) and I said I was still hoping to get Flagg. That was when you suggested that he wouldn't be good simply because Zion was from Duke which would indicate you had an issue with players from that school (otherwise your statement is completely irrelevant). I pointed out that Duke has put out a lot of good to great NBA players and named Tatum as an example.

Then you switched gears and said that the Pels suck and wouldn't develop him which begs the question why even talk about who we are taking at all if you are convinced it doesn't matter due to our lack of player development.

Thanks Griff.

Thanks Griff.

What part of what I said is inaccurate?

 

[HoustonGold]

Brandon Ingram from Duke? How did that go? Was he ever injured(LOL)

Can't forget ole J.J.

Redick: Pels, Griffin didn't honor word with trade

JJ Redick criticized the Pelicans' front office for the way it handled his trade to the Mavericks, saying that New Orleans executive David Griffin "did not honor his word" to help put Redick in a favorable situation where he would be closer to his family.
