The New Orleans Pelicans are watching their playoffs hopes start to slip away, which is why they should be keeping an eye on the future.
The Pelicans need to remake their bench, that much is clear, as it is the biggest weakness of the team and killing them in each and every game.
The Pels can’t hold leads because the bench is terrible, which leads to a lot more pressure being put on the starters, which has taken its toll on guys like Brandon Ingram, who tends to wear down as the game goes on.
