Quick, name the oldest player on the current New Orleans Pelicans’ roster.
If you guessed Omer Asik at 30 years old, that would be correct. But this is not about Omer Asik. It’s the big thing the New Orleans Pelicans lack going into next season. That thing is veteran leadership. There is not a single player on the Pels’ current roster with over seven years of NBA experience. Without a veteran leader, who will be the guy players go to for advice?
It’s obvious: It’s Anthony Davis.
Four years in the league does not really go into depth just how much “experience” Davis has at this level of basketball.
