That of New Orleans Pelicans it has been a rather complicated season. The absence of Zion Williamson it weighed heavily on the team’s economy, which ended the year in eighth place in the Western Conference with a record of 36-46. After passing the Play-in tournament, the team was eliminated in six games by Phoenix Suns in the first round of the playoffs.
However, the grafting of CJ McCollum turned out to be more than positive for the Louisiana franchise. Purchased in February from Portland Trail BlazersCJ maintained averages of 22.1 points, 4.3 rebounds e 5.1 assist per game. It will be very interesting to see the duo that will form with Zion during the next season.
Meanwhile, the player has revealed which rival is the most difficult of all to mark:
“There are many outstanding strikers in this league. However, I think Stephen Curry is the most difficult to contain ever. You can’t tag him with just one man, it would be suicide. It is as if it were a galaxy, a planet, a solar system. Everything revolves around him. ”
Words of great respect those expressed by McCollum towards the fresh winner of the NBA title. The reigning Finals MVP is regarded as the best shooter in NBA history, but also as one of the most iconic players ever. To date, no team has been able to find an effective method to contain it.
The only hope is to defend as hard as possible hoping that he misses a shot.
