Whether the New Orleans Pelicans get to finish their season may have less to do with their seeding and more to do with rookie Zion Williamson.
If the New Orleans Pelicans get a chance at the playoffs it will be in part because of the popularity of rookie Zion Williamson.
Rumors have been circulating about various formats the NBA could adopt if and when they finally resume play.
This could include a 16-team playoff, some sort of play-in tournament for the final seeds or even a World Cup-style group stage format.
