New Orleans possesses so much depth on its current roster that the Pelicans are the only NBA team with five players who’ve drained 110-plus three-pointers in 2019-20, with reserves JJ Redick (team-high 156 treys) and Josh Hart (111) being part of that group. Furthermore, two other prominent subs, Nicolo Melli (65) and E’Twaun Moore (60) have combined on another 125 makes, despite both players experiencing early-season stretches where they were out of the rotation.
That’s just one stat that demonstrates how much punch New Orleans (28-36) has received from its second unit, particularly during an in-season turnaround that saw the Pelicans go 21-13 after a 7-23 start.
