Three games into the Las Vegas Summer League the New Orleans Pelicans have yet to taste defeat. Thanks to their 3-0 record the Summer Pels will be seeded no worse than fifth and no better than third behind the Denver Nuggets and Toronto Raptors when the playoffs begin, earning themselves a bye into the second round to begin on Thursday. Given the limited number of games teams earn additional points for winning each quarter; the Nuggets and Raptors already stand ahead of the Pelicans.
Considering the Pelicans summer league team is nearly bereft of proven NBA talent or first round picks this is a surprise.
