Herb Jones getting PT

[TexasBama]

Booker was back last nite so Herb was on him, and held him 10+ below his average. Unfortunately none of the rest of the Pels could guard Chris Paul.

Herb has a very bright future and I think when Zion is back and hopefully Kira comes back strong they will be a very dangerous team. Never really had a fav NBA team (Hawks on occassion) but the Pel are my team now.

Here's a Herb highlight clip from the game against OKC a couple of nights ago. I saw the last two highlights on Sportscenter yesterday morning.

I'm so flippin' proud for him. He works so hard whenever he's on the floor.

That inbounds play with 2 seconds to go was good. I liked the earlier play under the goal where they tried to throw it off him, but he caught it and tossed it out to start their fast break. His game awareness is spectacular.

I REALLY want to see a Pelicans game. I'm going to try and catch one either there, Atlanta, or Memphis.

He was the smartest, hardest working player we had when he was here, so it makes sense.

With Zion back this year, they have a really good team. They should make a deep playoff run.

ETA. I saw that Kira is back too

DUDE! I thought he'd given up his NBA dream and gone to play overseas. I'll have to start watching the Pelicans again!

Who Herb?

He's been a starter basically his whole time there.

Wow ..... that's not good at all.

 

[JustNeedMe81]

Kira Lewis is back and is playing too.

So, apparently I mixed him up with another 'Bama player or something. I thought I read where he was headed to Israel or Malta or wherever after last year at N.O. Not seeing any mention at all so I was mistaken. I had taken the Pelicans off my auto-record; guess I'll put 'em back on!

Alex Reese maybe?

He's playing in Luxembourg.

Speaking of Herb ... good read on him as a second-year standout:

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones likes being ‘that dude,’ just not the one you’d think

NEW ORLEANS – It’s commonplace for NBA players to exit their luxury cars dressed to impress as they enter arenas. To their delight, videos and pictures are take…

Herb Jones is kind of like a small forward version of

DUDE! I thought he'd given up his NBA dream and gone to play overseas. I'll have to start watching the Pelicans again!

What? He's going to make the all defensive team and may end up being DPOY at some point. He will be in the league for the next decade plus.
