The New Orleans Pelicans most surprising player out of the gates is...

Which player has surprised you the most in the early goings with his contributions for the Pelicans?

Kevin: No one

Is it fair to say no one? I was kind of expecting what we are seeing from each individual. No, seriously.

Chris: Nikola Mirotic

After scoring 30 plus in back-to-back games, Mirotic showed the NBA world that last season was not a fluke by any stretch of the imagination. Then coach Alvin Gentry sat Mirotic for several important minutes in both matchups against the Clippers and Brooklyn. The amount of wing quickness presented by the opposition to go with Mirotic’s predictable permitter struggles defensively proved a tough matchup.
