Heading into next season, it feels like a few things are concrete for the New Orleans Pelicans. Firstly, we know that Zion Williamson, Jordan Poole, Trey Murphy, and Herb Jones will be starting, and Kevon Looney will likely be rounding out the starting five. We also know that to start next season, both Dejounte Murray and Derik Queen likely won't be available.
Well, we do roughly know what the Pelicans' second unit is going to look like. We don't have a clear picture of who will lead that group to start next season. Obviously, the goal when healthy should be to have Poole as the sixth man, as that's a role he's excelled in during his career.
