With Halloween in our rearview mirror, the NBA season moves into November. The OKC Thunder finished October with a 1-4 record but were competitive in every game. The Pelicans also finished October with a 1-4 record, albeit without the first pick in this years draft, Zion Williamson.
Williamson is still out, he will be for at least another month. However, the Pelicans without Williamson is like chocolate cake without cream, still good but missing something. The franchise retooled thanks to the Anthony Davis trade, getting good young players Josh Hart, Lonzo Ball, and Brandon Ingram.
