Without the presence of Christian Wood, Frank Jackson, and more importantly the New Orleans Pelicans’ number one overall pick, Zion Williamson, the team still managed to come just one overtime period away from the Summer League Finals.
They exceeded expectations and in the process put on a show that won’t soon be forgotten about for Pelicans fans. This team was immensely entertaining, the trio of Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Jaxson Hayes, and Marcos Louzada Silva left fans of the organization wanting more.
Beale Street vs Bourbon Street could very well be an enticing rivalry in the near future, both Memphis and New Orleans have young cores that showcases promise and their timelines are likely to merge.
