New Orleans Pelicans · 4 notes
Pelicans: Jamahl Mosley said everybody stayed healthy in the scrimmage. He's building Yves Missi as the defensive "anchor," guarding all five positions; Missi says he's being tried in varied coverages late in games. On Jordan Poole: "everybody here has a clean slate with me."
Jordan Poole's role with the Pelicans, per Jamahl Mosley: Poole "is accepting the role of being able to defend at a high level, but also be able to come and score when needed to and playmake."
Jordan Poole and Derik Queen are building a two-man game for New Orleans. Asked Oct. 15 about using different starting lineups, Jamahl Mosley pointed to the pair, who have been working on their pick-and-roll together after watching it on film.
Don't expect a settled rotation in New Orleans yet. Jamahl Mosley: "you're going to continue to see our process of finding different lineups... throughout the year." Jordan Poole said that with a new coach, the staff is still figuring out what it has.
