Pelicans Season Preview 2022-23
The New Orleans Pelicans are one of the most intriguing teams in the league as they enter the 2022-23 season. The addition of CJ McCollum last season made them a formidable playoff team as they pushed the Suns to a six-game series.
Now as the team enters this season they are looking to form a big three with McCollum, Brandon Ingram, and a now healthy and in-shape Zion Williamson. While this trio has not played any games together yet, they could become one of the best in the league if Zion can stay healthy.
During the 2020-21 season, Williamson played 61 games while averaging 27.0 points and 7.2 rebounds, while shooting 61.1% from the field. After the trade McCollum played 26 games for New Orleans where he averaged 24.3 points and 5.8 assists while shooting 39.4% from three.
Ingram for his part is coming off of another strong season where he averaged 22.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game. This Pelicans roster though isn’t just the big three.
Jonas Valanciunas gives them a strong interior presence and is coming off of one of his best seasons. Last season he averaged 17.8 points and 11.4 rebounds while shooting 54.4% from the field.
The Pelicans also have some promising young players in Herb Jones, Trey Murphy III, and Jaxson Hayes. Jones averaged 9.5 points last season and became one of the better defenders in the league last season.
Murphy should get more playing time this season as he averaged 5.4 points while shooting 38.2% from three in 13.9 minutes per game. Hayes averaged 9.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game in 20 minutes per game.
In his rookie season, Jose Alvarado also proved to be a nice addition as he averaged 6.1 points and 2.8 assists in 15.4 minutes per game. The team also has veterans like Devonte Graham and Larry Nance Jr. that can make impacts.
Graham averaged 11.9 points per game in his first season in New Orleans and Nance averaged 7.0 points and 5.4 rebounds per game while also providing the Pelicans with some much-needed defense.
This roster is deep and has a real chance to make a big jump in a very deep Western Conference this season. The biggest key for this team will rest on the health of Williamson and if he can stay on the floor.
