No player had a more up and down season for the New Orleans Pelicans than Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who went from pre-season hero to G-League disappointment in a matter of months.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker is just 21-years-old, so it is far too early to call him a bust or to judge his short NBA career.
Few rookies would have gotten off the New Orleans Pelicans’ bench, as they are loaded with young talent and had a deep team at Alexander-Walker’s position.
But after blowing up in the Summer League and pre-season, it looked as though Nickeil Alexander-Walker was going to make an impact right away for the New Orleans Pelicans.
