New Orleans Pelicans

Should the Pelicans give Luke Babbitt a spin?

Desperate times call for desperate measures. The Pelicans currently sit in an 0-2 hole, down to the regular season's very best team.

According to The Times-Picayune's Jimmy Smith, one potential way to crawl themselves out may be inserting small forward Luke Babbitt into the rotation:

"With reserve power forward Ryan Anderson shooting just 18 percent from the field in the first two games of the New Orleans Pelicans' Western Conference playoff series against the Golden State Warriors, it may be time for a change. Luke Babbitt hasn't played in either of the two games against the Warriors, after not playing in New Orleans' last three regular season games."

This would, well, it'd certainly be desperate. Babbitt is a lights out shooter from deep, but he can't guard anyone, and tinkering with the side of the floor New Orleans is actually playing pretty well on could have disastrous consequences.
