Bill Simmons makes a bold prediction that the Pelicans' rising young wing will be a member of the 2028 USA Olympic Team.
Over the course of the NBA offseason, the New Orleans Pelicans have faced intense criticism from numerous members of the NBA media. No one launched a bigger attack on the Pelicans than Bill Simmons did earlier this summer with his comments about the team being moved out of New Orleans. Simmons stated that he felt there was a lack of fan base and that the Pelicans wouldn’t really be missed if they left the Big Easy.
