The New Orleans Pelicans will have a dramatically different roster for first-year head coach Willie Green to work with next season.

With three starters gone, the starting lineup is going to be younger and hopefully better after trading Steven Adams, Eric Bledsoe and Lonzo Ball.

With Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and Jonas Valanciunas givens in the starting lineup, most fans believe that the Pelicans will go with a backcourt of Devonte’ Graham and Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
