The biggest item sitting on the New Orleans Pelicans wish list is rather obvious. Whether from watching several games or perusing through statistics, the most glaring hole on the roster remains unequivocally at the guard position to even untrained eyes.
Per Second Spectrum, the Pelicans guards rank last in field goal percentage (39.4%), next to last in 3-point percentage (31.8%) and 26th in points (47.6). Not to mention, the group resides in the bottom third of the league in free throw attempts (8.6) and assists (14.7).
The production is terribly tame. It is in need of a major upgrade.
