Final
This Pelicans team looks completely different from the year prior. Lonzo Ball is the starting point guard, who came over from LA in the Anthony Davis trade. Putting him next to Jrue Holiday gives them a very good defensive backcourt. Brandon Ingram steps right into a small forward role next to Zion Williamson as the power forward. Picking up Derrick Favors over the offseason he has slipped into a starting center job. New Orleans has a great offense but needs to work on the defensive side a bit.

New Orleans Pelicans Starting Lineup Questions
FAQ
While the beginning of the season had some injury hiccups, the New Orleans Pelicans have finally put together their ideal starting lineup. Coming off a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers and the number one overall pick, they completely changed their starting lineup from last season. Starting with the backcourt, Lonzo Ball is starting alongside Jrue Holiday, giving them an excellent defensive backcourt with two playmakers. Also coming over in the Anthony Davis deal was Brandon Ingram, and he has made the most of his move so far. The Zion Williamson show was delayed due to injury, and he has returned as the starting power forward. Signing Derrick Favors over the offseason gives the Pelicans a veteran center option and a right pairing partner with Zion who can move around the floor.

Jrue Holiday has played the most minutes of any starter this season, averaging 34.9 per game. This is just a shade more than Brandon Ingram. Holiday is averaging 19.6 points per game on the season.
What New Orleans Pelicans Starter Plays The Fewest Minutes?
Derrick Favors plays the fewest minutes of any starter, as he is splitting time with a few younger centers. Favors was not brought in to give the Pelicans big minutes as he was another body and can help mentor the younger players.
