The New Orleans Pelicans have not met the lofty expectations that many had for them coming into this season.
Even though they are being led by very young players including Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball, the addition of Steven Adams and Eric Bledsoe had some believing this team could be a playoff contender.
They still have time to turn things around, but the New Orleans Pelicans currently look much more like a contender for the lottery than the playoffs.
