The New Orleans Pelicans have been largely disappointing this season, partly because their young guys have not progressed.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker is out of the rotation after showing poor shot selection and ball handling.
Kira Lewis Jr. has been up and down, though he has flashed signs that he will be a competent point guard at some point.
Same with 20-year-old Jaxson Hayes, who shows signs of how he can be an impact talent on this team but also also disappeared from the rotation due to inconsistent play.
