## Resource

New Orleans Pelicans face a pivotal offseason—can a revamped center position and improved shooting finally lift them beyond 26 wins? Jake Madison spotlights how a new starting center and stronger defensive rebounding are essential, exploring trade prospects like Myles Turner and the strategic risks of pick protections under new NBA lottery rules. The search for a “unicorn” big next to Zion Williamson continues, with internal options from Derik Queen to Karlo Matkovic on the table. The Pelicans’ offensive woes take center stage as three-point struggles and clutch-time collapses persist. With Zion’s high usage and unpredictable perimeter shot, questions loom over whether Herb Jones or Jeremiah Fears can provide enough spacing and scoring punch. Jake examines how poor late-game performance and weak shooting threaten the team’s progress, while highlighting new hires and summer league intrigue. Will this retooled roster finally solve New Orleans’ long-standing clutch struggles and defensive gaps?
