If the New Orleans Pelicans have designs on making the playoffs next season, they should look to the Pacific Northwest for pitfalls to avoid.
As the Pelicans front office prepares for the beginning of the 2021 offseason, their attention will be on maximizing Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram as the focal points of what was a pretty successful offense.
Zion has vaulted himself into All-NBA consideration this year on the strength of a 27/7/3.5 season; while Ingram missed out on an All-Star nod despite his 24/5/5 stat line being nearly identical to his All-Star season the year before.
