The pelicans have beaten some of the other teams in the lower six lower six in the past few weeks, but will probably have the fourth best chances in the lottery, and this is a team that has been doing well with his draft picks in recent years. Of course, one of them was Dyson Daniels, whom the pelicans sent for Dejunt Murray to Atlanta (together with two picks of the first round).

Take away

This season, the pelicans were 13.3 points per 100 possessions (minus 8.7) than last season (plus-4.6), whereby this has been the third largest waste into the season for every team in the past 25 years. Her battles go beyond their countless injuries, since in 667 minutes with 1.3 points per 100 possessions with three by CJ McCollum, Herb Jones, Trey Murphy III and Zion Williamson. Even if they had some of their best players on the floor, they weren’t very good.

What you should pay attention to this summer

Pelicans’ chances to achieve a top-five election will probably be better than 50%. The future of Williamson, who will play in his six -year career in only 215 (45%) of 487 (including games and playoffs), is more interesting. He was offensive in his last 15 games (25.9 points, 5.7 assists, real shooting of 64.2%) than his first 15 (23.3, 4.9, 55.9%), but a total of 30 games are simply not enough. The pels could also use help in the back yard, whereby Dejounte Murray (Achilles anger) will probably (at least) be on the shelf in the first few months of the next season.
