New Orleans Pelicans

After getting off to a rough career during his time with the Los Angeles Lakers, Julius Randle quietly put-together an impressive third season a year ago. However, most of that was overlooked considering he was playing for a really bad team.

Making the move to the New Orleans Pelicans, Randle will have a great opportunity to build off the momentum he had last year – even more so considering that this team will need the fill the void that losing DeMarcus Cousins left.

Randle is an intriguing player to keep an eye on this season, and has all the tools to be one of the better young players in today’s NBA.
