The New Orleans Pelicans’ big man no longer has a clear role on the team, and his minutes on the court fluctuate like a roller coaster.
In the JV game from Friday to Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs, he spent 28 minutes on the court, during which he made 12 shots, and during the night from Sunday to Monday, the Lithuanian played just 4 minutes in the game against the Phoenix Suns, during which he made only 3 shots.
In the last game against the Portland Trail Blazers, the Ute player played 21 minutes, during which he made 12 shots again.
The midfielder himself does not pay more attention to it.
“Our big picture includes the goal of winning,” said J. Valančiūnas. – Non-competition, points, minutes, shots. The big picture is to win. As long as we’re winning, I’m here and that’s what I work for.”
Meanwhile, the team’s head coach explained why the Lithuanian’s role in the team has recently become so unclear.
“That’s the nature of the game. “There are some players who are good and very suitable for the game, and there are games where their roles may not be the same as the last game,” the Pelicans strategist explained his decisions.
