Pelicans see positive signs from Jamahl Mosley’s offensive rebounding strategy

The New Orleans Pelicans have begun preseason play with exhibitions against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat. Coach Jamahl Mosley's adoption of an 'All Crash' approach led to a significant increase in offensive rebounding, recording 35 offensive boards across the two games. This strategy has highlighted the players' responsiveness to new directives, with second-year center Yves Missi leading the way. The Pelicans' improved rebounding has also contributed to free throw opportunities, as seen in their 47 attempts against the Thunder. Despite this success, Mosley is focused on establishing consistent habits as the regular season approaches.
