The New Orleans Pelicans lack the depth to make the playoffs in the loaded Western Conference.

The New Orleans Pelicans will have some fresh faces when the season kicks off in a few weeks but will they be enough to make the playoffs?

The Pelicans narrowly missed the playoffs last season after fizzling out in the bubble and are hoping the changes to their roster will be enough to get them there this season.

The defense should be improved with the additions of Steven Adams and Eric Bledsoe, but other than that, the Pelicans haven’t made any impact moves.
