Trying to predict exactly what the future holds for the New Orleans Pelicans is hard. While the team is set up to chase Kevin Durant, and to a lesser extent Al Horford and the second tier of stars next summer, it seems unlikely that they will land a splash name. What that means is that the roster the Pelicans have now may in fact be very similar to the one they try to contend for an NBA title with.
While the way this roster has been built and the way specific players fit in has been debated ever since the Pelicans traded for Jrue Holiday, one thing hasn’t been talked much about specifically.
