Vit Krejci

Imaginative in his offensive approach at every stop of his young NBA career, Vit Krejci found no problem translating the New Orleans Pelicans’ defensive mistakes into one of the season’s most exciting passing exhibits. Gifted both a 5-on-4 opportunity and a wide-open red carpet into the paint, the third-year forward turns into a human highlight, first testing the Pelicans with a behind-the-back wraparound that forces a pair of defenders to respect his drive. Watching their defensive rotations like a hawk, Krejci takes his chance, whirling a pass around the rim-protector’s head to orchestrate a two-handed jam for a teammate, igniting the crowd. Just one week removed from putting together a triple-double for the Atlanta Hawks’ G League affiliate, Krejci offered versatility in the loss on March 10, 2024, providing three points, two rebounds, three assists, one steal, and a 3-pointer.
