The New Orleans Pelicans have been largely disappointing this season which is just one of the reasons that they need to unleash Kira Lewis Jr.
The rookie has played sparingly so far this season but has flashed positive signs. He has elite quickness and can get into the lane at will.
He is also not afraid to do so, which is more than I can say for most of the Pelicans’ guards this season, who prefer to camp at the 3-point line and fire up bricks.
