Stan Van Gundy, the new coach of the New Orleans Pelicans, talks about the roster he is looking forward to working with, starting with the duo of 2 of the 4 former Duke players under contract, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got two of the most unique young guys in the entire league, (including) Brandon Ingram, who\u2019s the most improved player in the league,\u201d Van Gundy said.<\/a> \u201cHe\u2019s one of those really tall, long guys who plays like a point guard, who can get to anywhere on the floor and score the ball. I don\u2019t even know the comparison for Zion Williamson. He\u2019s unique in the way he plays, but this is a guy coming off an injury for most of the year that was able to be extremely productive and efficient. There\u2019s just not people like that. There\u2019s a lot to build around there.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In over 400 minutes with Ingram and Zion together on the court the Pelicans have scored 8.2 points per 100 possessions more than those allowed, a figure that rises to 15.6 per 100 possessions in the 318 minutes with the duo plus Lonzo Ball and Jrue Holiday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
