The New Orleans Pelicans entered the 2021 NBA season with some big needs.
They desperately needed wing depth, as they only had Brandon Ingram entering the season. Even though Naji Marshall has been good of late, this has plagued them all year.
The Pelicans need more shooting, especially off the bench, which is still true. Ironically, Frank Jackson, a guy they let walk for nothing, has evolved into a plus 3-point shooter this season off the Pistons’ bench.
