The Noel/Okafor duo is on tempo to be the worst rotation pairing, by scoring margin, in recorded league history. Noel especially has appeared more comfortable on both ends as the solo big man. Everyone is aware of Iso-Joe’s capturing has been a disaster, however the fall-off has been nearly as dangerous on protection.
To me, it seems like the Pelicans will need to both keep Favors around as a mentor to Hayes and Zion on the defensive finish or herald a middle who spaces the ground but also grabs rebounds.
Team rebounding percentage totals are calculated as an estimated share…
