New Orleans Pelicans: Starting lineup, rotation, and minutes

Stan Van Gundy needs to shake things up with a new starting lineup and bench rotation.

Here is how I’d love to see the minutes split for the New Orleans Pelicans:

New Orleans Pelicans starting lineup:

•PG-Nickeil Alexander-Walker 30 mins

•SG-Eric Bledsoe 20-25 minutes

•SF-Brandon Ingram 35 mins.

•PF-Zion Williamson 35 mins.

•C-Steven Adams 30 mins.

New Orleans Pelicans bench:

•PG-Lonzo Ball 25-30 mins.

•SG-J.J. Redick 15 mins.

•F-Josh Hart 25-30 mins.

•C-Jaxson Hayes 15 mins.

Reserve:

•PG-Kira Lewis Jr. 5-10 mins.

The New Orleans Pelicans have a lot of talent and Stan Van Gundy is still searching for the best ways to use it.

Moving Lonzo Ball to the bench may be best for him and the team as the Pels continue to search for offense.
