Why is everyone sleeping on the Pelicans?

[Kool Boy]

Top 5 player in Davis and a possible top 10 talent player in Tyreke Evans. 50 wins next season with a surge when Tyreke returns in Dec

Pretty easy to sleep on a team whose main contributors are two of the most injury prone players in basketball. I'm not just sleeping on them... im in a ****ing coma

Your plug for the Pelicans answers your question.

Tyreke is not a good second option in today's NBA.

Davis isn't a top 5 player until he proves it. Looks like the injury is currently effecting his athleticism.

They WILL be healthy into the playoofs and they WILL scare some people this year.

Yes he is, he has all the skills to be LeBron lite and put up 20+/6+/6+ on solid 45/35/80 shooting while making his teammates better

he WILL be healthy and he WILL be top 5. How easily people forget that some thought he was the 3rd best player in the NBA just a year ago.

No I don't forget at all. I just won't award him top 5 player status after missing so much time and looking proppy right now.

1] Injury concerns among the top guys with minuscule depth.

2] Tyreke Evans isn't a top 10 talent. I'm not even sure if I'd confidently place him Top 10 in his own position.

3] Jrue Holiday is probably not going to be mentally ready for a good portion of the season, teamed with Evans being iffy and Davis working his way back. Buddy Hield may be the best player for the first part of the season on the roster, and that isn't a recipe for success.

Pels will definitely battle for the last 2/3 spots, but that's about it. I got them finishing 10th as of now.

LOL ok
1. Can't forecast injury so don't sleep on their talent.

2. Tyreke is easy top 10 talent if he is the main ball handler. Trust me I watch every game he plays. I'm predicting 19/6/7 this year and when he is 100% next year I predict 23/6/8 both on around 45/35/80 both years. He will also be a top 10 MVP candidate, trust me.

3. Buddy Hield is a perfect off guard for Evans and Holiday might be the best backup in the NBA

we WILL see, I WILL be right, you WILL be wrong.

[Spurs m8]

Yeh nah, won't make the playoffs aye

[Kool Boy]

Yeh nah, won't make the playoffs aye

I say EASILY 6 seed this year and next year WILL make the WCF with 57+ wins

They will most likely be out of the top 8. They probably wont even sniff 40 wins.
