Well, shucks. The New Orleans Pelicans just completed their best week of the season, finishing 3-1. And they could have easily completed the sweep against the Orlando Magic if not for an Anthony Davis quad injury. It was a fun week (for a change), and to top it all off the Pelicans beat three possible playoff teams. Of course, they were aided by returning star point guard Jrue Holiday but that wasn’t the only story to develop last week.
I hate to harp on the negative considering the Pelicans played so well last week, but this week’s player of the week goes to the Pelicans’ rookie, Buddy Hield.
