Pelicans Add Another Center!
Big Q analyzes the Pelicans’ decision to sign Christian Koloko to a one-year, non-guaranteed contract. Koloko will compete with a crowded New Orleans frontcourt for a place on the final roster.
The New Orleans Pelicans have signed center Christian Koloko to a one-year, non-guaranteed contract, adding another rim protector to their training-camp competition.
Big Q examines what the 6-foot-11 center brings to New Orleans and whether he can secure one of the Pelicans’ final standard roster spots.
We break down:
🏀 Koloko’s defensive strengths and rim protection
🏀 His rebounding and pick-and-roll potential
🏀 What he must improve during training camp
🏀 His journey through Toronto, Los Angeles, Memphis and Atlanta
🏀 How a non-guaranteed contract affects his roster chances
🏀 The Pelicans’ crowded power forward and center rotation
🏀 How Koloko compares with Karlo Matković
🏀 The roles of Yves Missi, Derik Queen and DeAndre Jordan
🏀 Why special-role reliability will determine the competition
New Orleans now has several frontcourt options, including Zion Williamson, Karlo Matković, Yves Missi, Derik Queen, DeAndre Jordan, Hunter Dickinson and Christian Koloko.
Koloko’s path will depend on whether his defense, rebounding and rim protection provide something the other Pelicans big men cannot consistently duplicate.
