NBA basketball games that count begin in less than 24 hours. The preseason is officially over and the New Orleans Pelicans made their last move earlier today by waiving Alonzo Gee and trimming the roster to the required 15 players. With basketball on the way that means power rankings are back!
If you want to remember (or, possibly forget) last year the Pelicans started in the top 10 in nearly every power ranking we tracked only to finish the year in the bottom 10. Maybe this year their fortunes will turn and we can look at this post in six months and laugh at how wrong everyone was on this team.
