The New Orleans Pelicans are mired in a disappointing season but they have far more reason for hope than most of teams at the bottom of the Western Conference.
The Pels have a bonafide superstar in Zion Williamson, an All-Star scoring machine in Brandon Ingram and a playmaking defender in Lonzo Ball, a trio most teams would love the chance to build around.
But the Pels are lacking just about everywhere else, and there is some question about which of their three stars can actually lead this team.
