New Orleans Pelicans
Record Prediction: 39-43
This team is Anthony Davis and not much more. Even though they made some improvements this offseason by adding players like Langston Galloway and, Lance Stephenson, Solomon Hill and Terrence Jones, the one player to watch this season will be Buddy Hield.
With the Jrue Holiday and Tyreke Evans experiment not exactly working for the Pelicans, Hield offers an interesting element for the Pelicans moving forward.
If Hield can be the player many think he can be in the NBA, and that’s a really good one, then the Pelicans’ ceiling certainly changes. Even moreso if Evans and Holiday can stay healthy for the year.
Though, in the end, this season is going to come down to Anthony Davis’ health. As always.
