When Jrue has been healthy, the Pelicans were at their best running PnRs but I feel like Boogie might turn the offense into a bunch of isolation sets (especially w/ the lack of shooters) ala the Knicks after the Melo trade.

If you look at what he did w/ the Shaq/Amare Suns, he fed the ball to Shaq & had Amare playing at the elbow or running PnPs w/ Nash. In this case, they could run their offense through Boogie in the post & have AD play at the elbow or run PnPs w/ Jrue. Basically, no more AD/Jrue PnRs b/c Boogie is going to be camping in the paint.

If Gentry is smart they should, Marc/Z-Bo who used to feast off high/lows when Z-Bo used to duck in every time down the floor. The difference is that AD would be the one playing at the high post instead of Boogie who's the superior passer.

AD isn't a better passer than Z-Bo who is actually one of the best interior passers in the league which is why double teams don't fluster him.

Defensively, AD is much been better at the 5 b/c his PnR coverage is underwhelming for a mobile big. The Asik/AD frontline used to get murdered by PnRs.
