The New Orleans Pelicans will need Nickeil Alexander-Walker to perform if they want to make the playoffs in 2021
Last night there was something really interesting published about the New Orleans Pelicans. William Guillory, who covers the Pelicans for the Athletic, released his weekly mailbag (subscription required), which really focused on one central question. Did the organization do enough to make a playoff roster?
I found this question fascinating because I thought the team did plenty with the additions of Steven Adams, Eric Bledsoe, and Kira Lewis Jr, but Guillory argued that the West is so deep that even those moves might not be enough.
