The New Orleans Pelicans are risking their future of this core by not having a serviceable rotation early in the season
Something’s been on my mind lately that I just can’t shake. Sure, the New Orleans Pelicans are off to a solid start on the season, but their biggest weakness is just bugging me non-stop.
That weakness is the Pelicans’ lack of a reliable second-unit. Coming into the season, I wrote that this could be an issue for the team, but I had faith that players like Nicolo Melli and Jaxson Hayes would step forward.
