Nicolo Melli Could Be New Orleans Pelicans’ Unsung Hero

Few teams made turnarounds as massive as the New Orleans Pelicans did this offseason. They survived the aftermath of the Anthony Davis debacle and recovered better than anybody could have expected. After passing the draft with flying colors, adding the best prospect of the last decade and a half, Didi Louzada, David Griffin and Trajan Langdon continued their hot streak in free agency. Derrick Favors was a fantastic add, a talented big man who will have the chance to play at his preferred position this season. With their morass of talent, the Pelicans needed an elite floor spacer and there are few better in this regard than JJ Redick.
