Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? The New Orleans Pelicans had their way with the Chicago Bulls Monday night, beating them 109-72 in Summer League play. It wasn’t just that they set the tempo early and maintained the pace in which they wanted to operate all game—it’s the fact that they just looked like they were having fun out there.
We’ll get to the Jaxson Hayes dunk, don’t worry, but for now let’s start with the 17th overall pick in the draft, Nickeil Alexander-Walker. He started the game off by nailing a three-pointer in the corner and kept the momentum going registering 23 points, 8 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks on 9/16 shooting.
