In declining Herb Jones’ team option, the Pelicans demonstrated a priority to re-sign their defensive star to a new long-term deal. That move, though, will likely have a trickle-down effect on the rest of the team’s free agency moves.

More on this storyline
Shams Charania: The New Orleans Pelicans are declining forward Herb Jones’ $1.8 million team option for the 2023-24 season, which clears way for Jones to be a restricted free agent and for the sides to work toward a long-term extension, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / June 29, 2023
Who are some of the players you are watching or try to model some of your game after? Jaylen Forbes: I always watch Klay Thompson just because he really doesn’t even dribble the ball. He is such a pure shooter, so I like to watch how he comes off screens and how he creates separation to get his shot off. Kevin Durant is actually my favorite player, though. I watch a lot of Kevin Durant highlights. This past year, I decided how serious I was going to be on defense, so one thing I’d always do was watch Herb Jones defensive highlights. Just trying to catch on to the intangibles of how he gets so many deflections. It is insane! I still talk to Herb just about every day now. I feel like that’s why my defense kind of improved the way it did. -via The Rookie Wire / May 12, 2023
