Griffin said the Western Conference will only continue improving and his team needs to as well.
After the failed to win a playoff round for the sixth consecutive season, team executive David Griffin said the time has come for changes. Griffin, New Orleans’ executive vice president of basketball operations, told reporters Tuesday that he was disappointed to be speaking with them rather than continuing to contend for a title after the team’s 49-win season. He added that the season “would’ve led you to believe we’d be playing deep into the summer.
“Unfortunately we continue to have injury issues and certainly had a big one at the wrong time,” Griffin said, later calling Williamson’s injury “super demoralizing.” He also praised Williamson’s season where the young star played a career-high 70 games. “I think you saw so much evolution in his game that came from the evolution his body and the work he put in,” Griffin said. “We’re really excited about where Zion is and where he intends to go.
