Pelicans TV sideline reporter/host Andrew Lopez joins Jim Eichenhofer and Gus Kattengell on the New Orleans Pelicans Podcast to recap Herb Jones' 2024-25 NBA season.

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
