Nicolò Melli impressive off bench in New Orleans Pelicans win over Spurs

The surprising run by the New Orleans Pelicans preseason has many buzzing about their potential, even extending to their bench. Proving true through his own play against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday afternoon, Nicolò Melli proved why he’s set to be a very valuable part of their second unit.

Playing in 18 minutes off the bench, Melli played an awesome, attacking style of offense, looking confident in his stroke.

With the Pelicans trailing late in the third quarter, including falling into a 17-point hole, Melli led a charge to help push the team to an eventual commanding victory.
