Warning: Pelicans RISK Missing Playoffs Without Upgrading Their Center Next to Zion Williamson
About this episode
Jake Madison discusses the New Orleans Pelicans' need to upgrade their center position to secure a playoff spot next to Zion Williamson.
New Orleans Pelicans face a pivotal offseason as their lack of a true starting center threatens their playoff ambitions. Can Derik Queen or another internal candidate step up, or must the team pursue a trade for names like Myles Turner, Goga Bitadze, or Jared Allen to solidify their frontcourt? Jake Madison unpacks the Pelicans’ ongoing struggle to find the right fit next to Zion Williamson, tracing the team’s revolving door at the center position and exploring how league trends toward size raise the stakes for New Orleans. Key topics include potential trade targets, the tricky fit of Queen alongside Zion, and how choices at center could shape the futures of Trey Murphy, Herb Jones, and the entire rotation. Will internal development or a bold move define the Pelicans’ competitive edge in an ever-tougher Western Conference? Jake Madison breaks down all the possibilities and implications for New Orleans’ playoff push.
