There’s every reason in the world to be overjoyed as a New Orleans Pelicans fan right now. The future appears overwhelmingly bright, a transcendent basketball figure is coming to bring the organization out of the darkness of the NBA cellar. But before we get ahead of ourselves, the Pelicans still have work to do.
With Zion Williamson at the helm of the rebuild moving forward, the team has to construct a roster around him that best compliments his abilities. Dell Demps, the team’s previous general manager, failed in that aspect with Anthony Davis. The Pelicans can ill afford a similar situation with Williamson.
