Anthony Davis simply can’t carry this injury-ravaled team. It’s just too much. He’s been good, but not at a point in his career where he makes his teammates significantly better. Then again, there’s really no one that can do that in today’s NBA, other than LeBron James.

New Orleans Pelicans (1-9)

Last week: 1-3
Last rank: 23


The good news is that the New Orleans Pelicans finally won a game. The bad news is that immediately after finally getting in the win column, they lost three-straight games. So many people were wrong about the Pelicans, even me to a certain extent. I went on a limb and predicted that the Pelicans would miss the playoffs this season, but even I didn’t expect this.
