The Pelicans' predecessor was the New Orleans Hornets, and I believe that old fans know about this matter. However, the Pelicans are a very interesting team, trying to improve the lineup configuration, but always missing out on the playoffs. This season, the Pelicans advanced to the playoffs through the playoffs, but the first-round opponent was the Suns, who had the highest record in the league. In the end, the Pelicans failed to continue to work miracles, regrettably stopping the first round of the playoffs.
In fact, before the Pelicans changed their name, even when the team name was still called new Orleans Hornets, it was always difficult to qualify for the playoffs. Paul is good enough, right? But while playing for the Hornets (now the Pelicans), Paul only helped the team advance to three playoffs, 07-08, 08-09 and 10-11. Due to the long period of playoff outreach, the Pelicans have a low playoff team history score, and Ingram's playoff score has ranked among the Pelicans' top ten in history!
This season, Ingram has advanced to the playoffs for the first time in his career. However, Ingram's performance is worth affirming, the Pelicans and Suns in the six-game series, Ingram averaged 39.3 minutes per game, averaging 27 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game. Not only that, But Ingram's shot feel is also good, averaging 9.3 shots in 19.7 shots per game, shooting 47.5% from the field. After six playoff games, Ingram scored 162 points in the playoffs.
However, the Pelicans were not rich in their ancestors, and the Orioles only played 6 playoff games, ranking 7th in Pelicans history with 162 points. Counting the Pelicans' predecessor, the Hornets, the Pelicans have only six players ahead of Ingram in playoff history, namely Paul (504 points), Thick Brow (397 points), West (385 points), Holliday (232 points), Byron Davis (229 points) and Peja (225 points).
Didn't expect that? During his time with the Pelicans, He only qualified for the playoffs twice (14-15 and 17-18), but Thickbrow finished second in Pelicans history with 397 points in the playoffs. In fact, the thick eyebrows were already remarkable at that time. In the 14-15 season, Thick Brow played 4 playoff games. In the 17-18 season, Thick Brow played nine playoff games. In these two playoff trips, thick eyebrows averaged more than 30 points per game and averaged more than 10 rebounds per game. But unfortunately, the Pelicans lineup configuration is really not good, and the gorgeous data of the thick eyebrows has become empty.
Judging from the Pelicans' playoff team history scores, as long as Ingram continues to play, he has a good chance to catch up with the scoring of thick eyebrows, and is even expected to surpass Paul and become the first person in pelicans history. This season, Zion season reimbursement, the Pelicans equivalent to one less powerful interior line. You know, Zion averaged 27 points and 7.2 rebounds per game last season. Zion's absence dealt a big blow to the Pelicans, and although the Pelicans eventually advanced to the playoffs, Zion failed to play, and the Pelicans were indeed too bad.
Fortunately, Zion has already started 5V5 training, which proves that Zion's comeback next season is not a big problem. Now, the Pelicans have McCollum, an experienced veteran, who can help the young players on the team grow better. As long as the Pelicans have a neat lineup, I believe that next season will definitely be able to advance to the playoffs again, and Ingram's playoff scores will continue to improve!
