Host Jake Madison dives into the New Orleans Pelicans' bold decision to position Herb Jones as the starting center, signaling a shift towards a small ball lineup. This move sparks discussion about potential rebounding issues and the risk of Jones encountering foul trouble against larger opponents. The expected opening night lineup includes Dejounte Murray, CJ McCollum, Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson, and Herb Jones, with debates swirling around whether Trey Murphy should eventually replace McCollum when healthy. Additionally, the release of Matt Ryan frees up a roster spot, likely for cost-saving rather than trade purposes. As the Pelicans prepare for their preseason matchup against the Miami Heat, Jake Madison breaks down what these changes mean for the team's strategy and season outlook. Join Jake Madison for an in-depth analysis of the Pelicans' evolving game plan and its potential impact on their path forward. Join the Locked On Pelicans Insiders: https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonpelicans Follow & Sub
