Fans tend to focus on free agency and the draft when it comes to improving the team. While the New Orleans Pelicans certainly have a few holes, there are internal improvements that can get them to the next level.
Even though the New Orleans Pelicans were 3.5 games out of the 8th seed in the Western Conference this season, it is reasonable to think that they could make a big leap in 2020-21.
The Pelicans are a young, ascending team that played only 19 games with superstar rookie Zion Williamson.
They were only 10-9 during that stretch, but considering the schedule and their relative unfamiliarity with one another, that record is reason to be excited.
