What is it about this New Orleans Pelicans team that has fans and the media buzzing? Outside of the obvious with Zion Williamson providing highlight-reel material since his long-awaited debut on January 22, it is the way this team plays. All heart and leaving everything out on the floor.
Although the Pelicans have a lot of room to make up in order to make the playoffs, it’s not out of the realm of possibility now.
Combine the team’s improved play with the selection of Brandon Ingram to the All-Star game and rookies Williamson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker in the Rising Stars game, the Pelicans are definitely on the upswing.
