March Madness is upon us and Pelicans fans should be paying close attention to the NCAA tournament.

The Pels are currently eleventh in the western conference, only one spot off a play-in tournament spot but still firmly in the NBA draft lottery. Although New Orleans has arguably disappointed this season, there is no pressure on them to win right off the bat.

Their franchise player, Zion Williamson, is just 20-years-old and already an all-star in his second season. Nine of their current players are 23 or under, led by Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball.
