The New Orleans Pelicans could deal from their guard depth to improve their struggling bench.

The New Orleans Pelicans are 4-2 behind strong play from Brandon Ingram, Steven Adams and the rest of the starters.

But the bench has been flat-out awful.

Josh Hart is the only one who has contributed anything at all at this point. Jaxson Hayes looked better against Toronto but is still inconsistent, J.J. Redick continues to struggle, Nickeil Alexander-Walker is up-and-down and Nicolo Melli has rightfully been planted on the bench.
