The New Orleans Pelicans have not lived up to the lofty expectations that many fans and media pundits had for them coming into the season.
Part of this is just that we put too much on them too soon. The Pelicans are still a very young team with a new head coach and were adjusting to a new scheme with several new players.
But when you are getting an All-NBA type season from Zion Williamson, better numbers from last year’s Most Improved Player Brandon Ingram, and lights-out shooting from Lonzo Ball, maybe the expectations should be high.
