The youngest players for the New Orleans Pelicans are not only the future, but also the “now”. It’s time to lean in fully into the Pelicans’ youth movement.

It’s been evident this season, but especially since the All Star break, that this Pelicans team is better when those who haven’t reached the age of 25 yet are on the court. Most of them are too young or just barely old enough to drive through a daiquiri shop legally. It’s high time the Pels coaching staff leans into this movement and gives the young guns a chance to shine.
