Heading into the 2025-26 season, I feel really good about the Pelicans' depth at the five, which is something I haven't said since Steven Adams was the starting five man during the 2020-21 season.
The addition of Kevon Looney, in my opinion, may go down as one of the most underrated moves of this entire offseason. Looney's going to bring a level of experience and championship excellence that the Pelicans have been lacking in almost the franchise's entire history.
Outside of the 3-time NBA champion, the Pelicans have two young bigs in Derik Queen and Yves Missi.
