The New Orleans Pelicans enter the season with reasonable questions about the small forward position. Stop me if you've heard this before. Small forward has been a revolving door since Trevor Ariza packed his bags in a trade to the Washington Wizards for Rashard Lewis.
Al-Farouq Aminu had numerous opportunities to seize control but found himself a far better small ball power forward than a wing player. Darius Miller had a shot, and now fills his passport in Europe. Xavier Henry, Lance Thomas, and Josh Childress have all come and gone.
