My Player of the Game: Brandon Ingram
Takeaways
- The Pelicans are down too many starters, and it showed in this game
- If you're wondering who Jeremiah Robinson-Earl is, so am I. Just kidding. But if you are wondering, he's a 23-year-old guard who went to Villanova and most recently played for the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Pels only signed him a few days ago.
- Jordan Hawkins is the real deal, and his focus on the court needs to be matched by all the other players out there.
- Hope Zion's baby is healthy.
- Rebounding was better for the Pelicans in this game, but they still allowed Rudy Gobert to get 21 boards.
