The New Orleans Pelicans look rather different this season. So what have been the major changes and how are they measuring up against both opposing teams and the ghost of last years Pelicans squad?
The Good:
First off the New Orleans Pelicans are running at supreme efficiency in terms of their shooting, making an impressive 48.1% of shots from the field. Good enough for the third-best field goal percentage in the league.
This is coming off a season in which the Pelicans previously ranked 20th in field goal percentage. So it looks like cutting out the bulk of those mid-range jumpers is paying off.
