In the Pelicans' preseason debut, Micah Peavy made a statement that he is much more than just another second-round pick.
The New Orleans Pelicans have wrapped their first preseason game against Melbourne United. In the 107-97 win, Micah Peavy was a major standout guy for me; his effort, aggressiveness, and calmness were really encouraging.
When he was drafted 40th overall in the 2025 NBA draft, I wasn’t overly familiar with his game and was worried the Pelicans wasted a pick on someone who would never be anything in the NBA.
