Summary
The Pelicans are in a bind at center, with no clear answer as the season looms — they’ve brought back DeAndre Jordan on a one-year deal, but their previous gamble on Kevon Looney failed miserably. With no draft pick and no free-agent centers available, they’re forced to rely on Zion and Derik Queen to make it work — a risky bet that hinges on chemistry and defensive growth. Coach Jamahl Mosley’s job is to boost team defense, while Yves Missi must prove he can handle the physical toll. Fans are watching nervously as the Pelicans scramble to fix their biggest weakness — and time is running out.
