New Orleans Pelicans VP of Basketball Operations David Griffin has just completed his fifth year at the helm, and the PPR crew—Big Q, DC, and Lexxah—delve into a comprehensive evaluation of his tenure. Griffin’s tenure began with high expectations, including the development of young stars and a push towards playoff contention.
Over the past five years, the Pelicans have seen mixed results. While there have been flashes of brilliance, particularly with the emergence of Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, the team has struggled with consistency and injuries. The Pelicans’ playoff appearances have been limited, and the squad has often fallen short of its potential. Griffin’s draft picks and trades have shown promise, but the overall team performance has yet to meet the lofty expectations set when he took over. The PPR crew examines all the stats, facts, and behind-the-scenes moves to provide a thorough assessment of Griffin’s impact on the franchise.
