Pelicans Radio play-by-play announcer Todd Graffagnini and color analyst John DeShazier join Jim Eichenhofer and Gus Kattengell for a special Pelicans Draft Lottery radio roundtable.

“He’s a really good kid. Having a chance to interview him, he’s really humble. He’s not overly talkative, but he’s very aware of what’s going on. He’s a worker, too. You go in the gym and he’s getting up shots. I love to see four-year (college) guys coming into the NBA, because they’ve played a lot of basketball.” – Pelicans radio play-by-play broadcaster Todd Graffagnini on Reeves, who had a five-year college career, one of several New Orleans players with extended NCAA experience

“You see a fearlessness in him. The thing I love about him the most is, when he’s going to the rack, he’s going in to dunk it. He doesn’t care who’s under there (for the opponent defensively). He’s attacking. You need that out of that position, because you can’t be playing 4-on-5 offensively. You need a scoring threat at center. He’s looking at the rim and saying, ‘I can do some damage here.’ ” – Pelicans radio analyst John DeShazier on Matkovic’s aggressiveness

“From the beginning of the (regular) season – when he was a piece coming off the bench – to December, when he was the starting center, averaging a double-double, named Rookie of the Month, he was a force. Not only scoring, but rebounding, blocking shots, offensive rebounding.” – Pelicans radio play-by-play broadcaster Todd Graffagnini on one of Missi’s impressive stretches of development

"(I told Boston), ‘There is no better chance for you to prove yourself, go out there and show why you belong in this league.’ He was thrown into the fire. (He) was asked to go out there and produce. You saw the development and maturity of a young man coming from not getting a chance (with the Clippers), to getting a chance here, showing why he should be on the floor.’ ” – Pelicans TV studio analyst Wes Johnson on Boston; Johnson was a player-development coach for Boston in Los Angeles

Pelicans Radio Color Analyst John DeShazier joins Jim Eichenhofer and Gus Kattengell on the New Orleans Pelicans Podcast to recap Jeremiah Robinson-Earl's 2024-25 NBA season.

“He’ll rebound, he’ll make some corner threes. We saw a little bit of an expansion in his game down the stretch of the season, where he’d make a couple plays off the dribble and kind of shock you, because you’d be like, ‘I didn’t know he had that in his bag.’ He’s got some things he can work with. He’s not super athletic, he’s not huge at (6-foot-9), not physically gifted, but he’s solid. Every NBA team needs solid guys along the roster.” – Pelicans radio analyst John DeShazier on Robinson-Earl’s contributions

Pelicans TV Studio Host/Reporter Erin Summers joins Jim Eichenhofer and Gus Kattengell on the New Orleans Pelicans Podcast to recap Jordan Hawkins' 2024-25 NBA season.

“He had a chance to play more minutes, and when he’s had those opportunities, we’ve always seen him break out and have huge games. His rookie season, he scored 34 points and drove the Pelicans to a win over Dallas. You thought, ‘Dang, he can be really good.’ We expected that from ‘Hawk,’ and he expected it from himself. But he couldn’t ever get into a real rhythm this season, because he was in and out (of the lineup due to injury).” – Pelicans TV studio host Erin Summers on Hawkins producing big offensive nights early in his NBA career

“You saw him be like a Swiss Army knife, playing point guard, (defending positions) 1 through 5, able to score and play in the pocket. Seeing him grow throughout the season, for me (it showed), ‘This is why you had success throughout your career on numerous teams.’ (Brown previously was) on teams making playoff pushes. He didn’t have a true position or (specific) identity (on the court), but they needed (him) out there, because his skill set (filled) voids.” – Pelicans TV studio analyst Wes Johnson on Brown demonstrating his ability from productive stops in Brooklyn and Denver

Pelicans TV Studio Host/Reporter Erin Summers joins Jim Eichenhofer and Gus Kattengell on the New Orleans Pelicans Podcast to recap Kelly Olynyk's 2024-25 NBA season.

“His knowledge of the game as a vet was so beneficial, because he immediately saw how he could fit in, and help Zion Williamson. He sees the floor really well, and doesn’t get in the way. He really helped show how these other players can play around Zion, and also help the coaching staff and front office see what a stretch big can be for Z, and how beneficial a player like that can be for this team.” – Pelicans TV studio host Erin Summers on Olynyk’s impact in the second half of the season

“I don’t think Jose even realizes the impact he makes. I’m sure he doesn’t. I remember talking to Willie (Green) about it (during a lengthy stretch when Alvarado was sidelined and the Pelicans slumped). He said, ‘You know who we really miss? Jose. Just that energy.’ That energy is contagious. You see it all the time throughout the league. Guys who play a certain style of basketball (that) lights a fuse in the entire arena. A play is made and you can hear the entire arena kind of coming to a crescendo because of an energy play. I think that speaks to the impact of Jose Alvarado.” – Pelicans TV analyst Antonio Daniels on one reason Alvarado is a difference-maker for New Orleans

“(Murray said), ‘This is a point guard’s dream,’ to play with the different offensive options and weapons he had (during preseason). Little did he know that the starting five on the first day of training camp – Dejounte, CJ (McCollum), Herb (Jones), (Brandon Ingram) and Zion (Williamson), they (would not) play one minute together during the preseason or regular season. So what (Murray) saw (in terms of the team’s potential), he never got an opportunity to see it come to fruition. But he never complained or griped about it. He tried to be the best version of himself, and that’s all you can ask.” – Pelicans TV analyst Antonio Daniels on Murray’s bad-luck first New Orleans season

“He is one of the premier defenders in the NBA. For a while, the Defensive Player of the Year was whoever had the most blocks, or the most steals sometimes. For the most part, it was a big-man award… Now we’re starting to skew more toward perimeter guys. He has the capability to win a Defensive Player of the Year in his career. Being on a winning team helps – when you win 49 games (as New Orleans did in 2023-24), you get those kinds of accolades. He can go back to being that type of player.” – Pelicans TV sideline reporter Andrew Lopez on the future for Jones when he returns to action from injury
