🆕New Orleans Pelicans Ruining Zion Williamson 👉 Pelicans Have Failed At Developing Zion| FYF Sports

FYI of sports man is Lamont man. We back back with another another news video here again It's back with some more NBA talk. I'm just gonna kind of discuss some of the things that I'm seeing here in the NBA And as you can see, you know just by the picture and that's by the title of the video The focus of this video is definitely gonna be on Zion Williamson and the New Orleans pair of Pelicans So that's gonna be the main topic that we're really gonna have to discuss today There's a lot that I'm seeing that that I really don't like With how not just how they're using Zion Williamson, but the plan time that they're giving them So again, we're just got to break that down But before we get into that make sure that you guys like comment subscribe hit that notification bell Again, all of the engagement everything all your interactions with the channel help they help out a lot YouTube's change this algorithm up It's affecting views it's affecting money that we make so again all the engagement all the likes all the comments all of that helps and It goes a long way. We're showing your support for the channel. It's definitely gonna help us keep bringing this content out as fast as possible but today We really have to speak on this topic with Zion Williamson When I saw the Zion Williamson play against the Utah Jazz a couple days ago The one thing that I didn't like was the plan time. He got 15 minutes of playing time He was he was extremely efficient in that 13 minute and that 15 minutes with 13 points and the coach Still did not use him down the stretch of that game where they could have used him and Potentially could have won that game if they would have had him in the game with this ability to score the ball And also with its ability to defend to defend at a high level so You know, I think I think man what we're seeing is we're seeing these teams be extremely overly cautious overly cautious with these players We know that Zion Williamson is a bit I would definitely have to admit that he is Probably a bit overweight for his position for his size and for the speed of the game But again, he's been able to play at that weight for a long amount of time. He's been extremely efficient at that weight And I think at this point in time, especially with the four-month layover I think you just have to allow Zion Williamson to play and figure it out And allow his body to adjust and acclimate acclimate to the NBA game if you don't do that He's never gonna adjust if you continually try to throw different diets on him get him to change his body type in his game It's gonna affect his play. It's gonna affect his mindset It's gonna affect his approach to the game in a negative manner. And I think the Pelicans right now. They're on a path to Set Zion back by a year or two if they do not just let this man go out and play his game And that's one of the primary problems that I see with the New Orleans Pelicans and again Every one of these eight games in the NBA bubble for the Pelicans matters Every one of these games that mean you're trying to chase down Memphis to get within four games So that they can get into those those put those play in games and Starting at starting this eight games off starting with a loss to the Jazz a game that they should have won They dominated it for three quarters Then it looks like they're probably gonna lose to the Clippers as I'm watching the game right now. The Clippers are up 20 They look like, you know, they've already hit about 14 threes And and they look like they're gonna be cruising to a victory in this one The Pelicans as I've stated before just defensively their team concept defensively looks terrible I cannot tell what they're doing on pick and rolls whether they're icing the pick and rolls of whether you're just switching everything You know, or they're not even hedging the bigs aren't aren't showing any activity on pick and rolls The bigs are just sitting back in the paint there. They're Forcing their guards to do all the work by chasing and going over screens This is why they're giving up so many three-point shots and in the NBA today and in the NBA today You have to find a way to either hedge and recover or you have to find a way to switch every screen or teams will Just light you up from the three-point line as we can see the Clippers are doing right now So so again, I don't think they have a very strong defensive philosophy or mindset You have some you have some good defensive players, but in the NBA today, you need more than just good defensive players You actually need some type of scheme some type of strategy something that you're going to do on a night in and night out basis that you can become consistent with and As I watch this team play, you know, I see I see one play where they try to hedge and they're not very good at it I see another play where they try to ice but they're not very good at it And then they don't even try to switch at all And this is going to be a detriment to that this team Especially in this a game series if you can't defend we know offense is going to be up and down For a lot of teams We saw that with the Lakers and the Clippers two of the better teams in the league offense is going to be up and down But if you cannot defend You're going to have problems and you know, it's not like this is a Houston Rocket team with an elite offense They don't have an elite offense that can carry their bad defense There they have a very streaky offense and their defense comes and goes And that defense is primarily based on how they're playing Offensively, so I think Alvin Gentry really needs to reevaluate his approach with this team Because again, I don't see Alvin Gentry lasting another year with this team if he can't figure this out It's it's time to stop babying Zion Williamson it's time to go ahead and let him play his game It's time to let him develop and you know if he gets injured, okay, so be it But the hope is that his body can adjust and acclimate acclimate to the NBA game So again, my hope for Zion is just continue seeing him dominate But that just won't happen when an NBA today and this is one of the reason why you know Especially a lot of older guys and former players. They called his league today soft It is not necessarily because of the players man, you know Zion, you know, he was extremely upset about his playing time He wanted to go out there and play we even saw that in his first game back against the Spurs He wanted to be out there He had a great fourth quarter He wanted to be out there to help his team finish the game But they had him on such a strict minutes restriction That he couldn't even finish the game after having a great fourth quarter to lead his team to a victory We saw the same thing happen with a jazz and again when you're that efficient 13 points in 15 minutes almost scoring a point a minute And your coach and your training staff they can't They can't put you in the game at least for the last three to four minutes so you can finish that game There's some serious things that we really do some things there. We really need to evaluate With that staff over there in New Orleans because again, it's time to let Zion go. He's had a four-month break All right That's more than enough time to recover from any of these knickknack injuries that he may have had There was more than enough time for the New Orleans training staff to get with him about any fitness goals that he could have you Know that he needed to reach. We saw players like James Harden and Nicole Yochik We've saw all of those players lose weight during this four month They use that time to get their fitness in order to so that they can come back at a better weight We did not see the New Orleans staff do that. And again if they're all about Cottle and Zion Williams if they're all about Worrying about his health and his weight and things of that nature Well, and that's one of the things that you should have really focused on over this four months his diet His weight getting that down because that in and of itself can prevent injuries, but not playing him Sitting him for long stretches in the game not letting him find rhythm Costing your team games by not playing this man again That's not gonna do anything to help this New Orleans back to New Orleans Pelicans basketball team You need Zion Williams. Why is it Williamson on the floor put his team to excel and be great? But you know, we're gonna go ahead and wrap this up and I just wanted to touch on this really quickly here It was just something that was bothering me You know as a former player. I know the feeling of knowing That you could be out there helping your team and and you have a coach or you have a staff for whatever reason That's holding you back because they feel it's for your best interest Sometimes you especially in the NBA. Sometimes you just have to let players go and in this bubble setting, you know New Orleans won't have a better chance They won't have a better chance, especially early on with this young group to go to make a serious playoff run Outside of this bubble setting so why not take advantage of it? You got Zion you got Brandon Ingram playing at an all-star level Zion, you know, we know when everybody else is playing good. He's playing good. You got a solid bench You got a veterans like JJ Reddick and Drew holiday Why don't you take advantage of that instead of throwing it away by actually going out there and trying to win games? Let's not treat this like the preseason. Let's not treat this like Games that don't necessarily matter these all of these games matter all of these games count and I want to see these teams come out and compete But it's been another another great episode man I hope I hope you guys like my take on this particular issue if you got your own insight if you have any questions or concerns That you want us to bring up on the show hit us up on Instagram or Twitter Let us know and we'll mention you and we will mention your question live on the next show Also use the comments, you know, if you got anything you want to let us know use those comments.
