Willie Green on Jose Alvarado's tenacity: 'I don't know anyone in the NBA who is six feet and under who is nice, all those guys are kind of like a Chihuahua'
“It’s extremely unique,” Green said about Alvarado’s grit. “I say this jokingly, but it’s kind of true. I don’t know anyone in the NBA who is 6 feet and under who is nice. All those guys are kind of like a Chihuahua. They bite you. They bark. They are ready to fight at any time. That’s what makes Jose unique. He’s that way. To make it to this level, you kind of sort of have to have that.”

The advanced numbers say Jose Alvarado has been one of New Orleans’ most valuable defenders. How does a sub-6 foot player make such a big impact? Asked Willie Green. nola.com/sports/pelican… – 10:14 AM

Dyson Daniels went through a full practice today, as did Larry Nance Jr. and Herb Jones, and Dys could be available to return to action in about a week and a half, per Willie Green. – 1:29 PM

Willie Green said Dyson Daniels, Herb Jones and Larry Nance were all able to go thru a full practice today.
Green said Daniels still has some work to do before they’re ready to clear him for game action, but he’s moving in the right direction. – 1:28 PM

Oleh Kosel: Antonio Daniels broadcasted that Jose Alvarado had 103 tickets for friends and family in Brooklyn tonight. CJ McCollum bought 50 of them. CJ continues to be a shining veteran for this Pelicans team, and from my vantage point, I’ve never seen a closer-knit locker room. -via Twitter @OlehKosel / March 19, 2024
Jim Eichenhofer: Jose Alvarado, after being asked about the recent defensive impact of Zion Williamson (seven blocks during #Pelicans 3-0 road trip): “He’s locked in. He wants to win. He knows how much defense matters to us. He’s doing his part. Everybody else has to do their part.” -via Twitter @Jim_Eichenhofer / March 12, 2024
Will Guillory: Jose Alvarado: “We’ve got the best bench in the league. I truly believe that.” -via Twitter @WillGuillory / March 12, 2024
