The New Orleans Pelicans have a pair of rookies in Trey Murphy III and Herbert Jones who could make an impact this season.

Murphy III was one of the standouts of Summer League and ended up making the All Summer League first team.

Herbert Jones is more of a defensive specialist, a four-year college player who may have been somewhat overlooked because of his age.

They both have qualities that fit well with Zion Williamson, but which current NBA players do they most resemble?
