If you haven’t figured it out yet, the New Orleans Pelicans are still rebuilding.
A lot of us had high expectations coming into the season, especially after the Pelicans added veterans Steven Adams and Eric Bledsoe to a team that narrowly missed the playoffs last year.
With Zion Williamson emerging as one of the best players in the NBA, the Pelicans were on everyone’s list of teams that could make a big leap.
But this is still a very young team with a new coach and a roster that is not close to complete or ready to compete with the best teams in the Western Conference.
