Jaron Pierre Jr. has been as reliable a shooter as the Pelicans could ask for through preseason, and he could help fix their spacing issues.
Writer Chris Lambert argues that rookie guard Jaron Pierre Jr. deserves regular rotation minutes to help resolve the New Orleans Pelicans' persistent floor spacing issues. The Pelicans rank 24th in three-point attempts per game during the preseason, reflecting an offense that struggles with perimeter shooting and roster construction.
Lambert highlights that Pierre Jr., the 58th overall pick out of SMU, has made 60 percent of his three-pointers on 3.3 attempts per game in limited preseason action. The writer suggests that Pierre Jr.'s perimeter shooting and steady defensive metrics could provide valuable spacing for the team's second unit.
