New Orleans

Pelicans STATS

There is little doubt that Zion Williamson will soon emerge as the Pelicans' cornerstone superstar. This could very well happen as early as the 2020-21 season.

Until that time, however, Brandon Ingram still deserves the credit as the best player in New Orleans. After joining the Pelicans in the summer of 2019 as part of the Anthony Davis deal, the 6-foot-7 forward had the best season of his young career. Ingram averaged 23.8 points (0n 46.3 percent shooting), 6.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.0 steals, while also connecting on 2.4 triples per contest on a 39.1-percent clip. This resulted in Ingram making his first All-Star team.
