There is talk they could eventually get the first pick in the draft with their Lakers pick swap this year. Now, the Lakers have a better record and the Pelicans are at the #10 spot. Maybe they get lottery luck, but it doesn't look as promising as it did.
Zion always being hurt has zapped that team to no end. When he was healthy, they clearly were a much improved team. They had the best record in the West early on before him and ingram went down for significant time. Now there is talk he may not come back at all this season. Such a shame for a talented player.
