With the New Orleans Pelicans' summer league wrapping up on July 18th, the anticipation for the 2025-26 season is at an all-time high. This comes with unrealistic expectations, one of which is that Jeremiah Fears will come in from day one and be a starting-level point guard. I'm not throwing any shade at Fears, as I expect him to become a heck of an NBA player; however, the expectation of him being a starter isn't realistic.
During Fears' time in Vegas for the summer league, he had his fair share of ups and downs. He showed off his quick burst, crafty scoring ability, and unwavering confidence.
