Pelicans’ disastrous start is an indictment of Joe Dumars, not the players

Pelican Debrief writer Chris Lambert argues that the New Orleans Pelicans' 0-4 start to the season is the fault of executive Joe Dumars rather than the players. Following a 104-91 blowout loss to the Denver Nuggets, Lambert contends that the team's struggles stem from poor roster construction and management's refusal to initiate a full rebuild after consecutive sub-30-win seasons.

Lambert asserts that Dumars failed to support Zion Williamson with adequate three-point shooting, leaving New Orleans ranked last in three-point attempts. He also claims the current roster structure hinders the development of young talent like Jeremiah Fears while repeating the mistakes of the previous front office regime.
