New Orleans Pelicans Starting Lineup Pelicans Starting Lineup
31-41, 4th in West Southwest
Projected Proj
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
The Pelicans made some odd choices over the offseason to add to their starting lineup. It started with a trade sending Jrue Holiday to Milwaukee and bringing back Eric Bledsoe. This gave the Pelicans another pedestrian shooter in the backcourt alongside Lonzo Ball. Now they don't have a strong shooter there, but do have Brandon Ingram who continues to take major steps forward. He certainly is in the conversation for the most important starter, even over Zion. The other addition to the starting lineup was Steven Adams, who isn't a space creator but effective around the rim.
