The New Orleans Pelicans are hoping to make a leap as a team through some roster changes and internal development from their own guys.
They brought in Devonte’ Graham and Jonas Valanciunas to replace Lonzo Ball and Steven Adams, and hope rookie Trey Murphy III will be a big upgrade over Eric Bledsoe.
But they are also looking for improvement from the guys they already have, including Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Kira Lewis Jr. and Jaxson Hayes.
Of the three, NAW seems the most likely for dramatic improvement, as he has shown signs of stardom in the past and got some valuable reps with the Canadian Olympic Team.
