4 is likely light.
This filter for Gs sub-6’7 and under 21 (ast and A:TO, FTs, 3s, blk, true shooting) is for 2020s.
7 this year + Dylan Harper.
One nugget:
defensive rebounding and dunks suggest (and tape confirms) that Flemings and Mikel play the biggest, alongside Harper.
Jeff Goodman@GoodmanHoops
One GM about the point guards in this draft: "I've never seen a group like this, with 4 guys so close. It's going to be tough for an organization to choose between these guys: Acuff, Flemings, Wagler and Mikel Brown. Personally, I'd go with Acuff."

The Pelicans have won their last two games by an average of 16.5 points with this starting five.
Synergy: A-
🔵Queen (Capricorn)
🟢Bey (Aries)
🟢Jones (Libra)
🟢Murphy III (Gemini)
🟢Fears (Libra)

@just_adavis Love it. Will need to add more defensive pieces to out team. This rotation has 2-4 plus defenders...
English
If poole available my lineup and rotation
Starters- JP, Trey, Herb, Bey, Queen
Second unit- Fears, karlo, bryce, jose, missi
Fears and Bryce likely my first 2 off the bench, then Jose and karlo!
This is obviously dependent on foul trouble and flow but we playing 8-9 all game
English
@PelicanObserver Zion will go to the bulls in this scenario. Warrios get vuc or huerter or ayo or coby white. Some of that
English
@PelicanObserver My targets for a zion trade are warrios (sending zion to the bulls) and getting some of Kuminga, Podz and Post. Or the knicks (through a giannis trade) getting og anuonoby. Also wouldnt mind a trade with the heat or grizzlies
English
I feel Zion Williamson may benefit from a team that connects well with his energy.

The Pelicans are about to fall to 0–4 on the season…They traded their unprotected pick in next year’s draft to Atlanta 😬
English
@joelvenile this team needs some bigs that can defend. And either are awesome screeners or can stretch the floor
English
@FletcherWDSU Would want more than that, we lose our lead guard. I rate murray a lot higher than Collins
English
Since I think Joe Dumars is a ‘change agent’ for NOLA.
💡
Murray played for Utah HC Will Hardy when both w/Spurs.
Dejounte can rehab, be leader for young group.
Also has tradeable contract for 2026.
Utah gets Hawkins to sweeten deal.
Pels get versatile big who fits with Zion.
English
@KeithSmithNBA Would love for you to do a piece on the pelicans. Seems they can go many ways

@ProPelsTalk Agreed! Maluach would be cool tho if we go big.
Fears seems a couple years away and doesnt quite fit our current roster.
KJ was so bad the 2nd half of the year and tre johnson or ace (if they're there) could be good, but we have similair skillsets on the team (cj, trey, hawk).
English
Derik Queen might have taken over my #1 spot at Pick 7.
-Elite footwork
-Great Passer
-Will Help With Rebounding Issues
-68.4% At The Rim
-75.5% FT shooter
Big Boom or Bust guy but he would be fun to watch playing bully ball with Zion

@TurdFNOLA5 Im at the opposite. Queen or Maluach would be the perfect big next to Z and Trey. Fears will take years to develop, Kon is a role player and KJak was horrible for the 2nd half of the season.
Yves and Karlo are sadly not special. both wouldn't start in a playoff setting
English
Still super preliminary but…
1. Fears
2. Kon
3. KJak
I’ve soured on Queen. His combine has been abysmal so far. Also just generally out on bigs. Pels have solid bigs and Yves and Karlo’s development doesn’t need to be hampered by another young big.
English
@PelicansLead 5 or 6. I think washington, nets, hornets and jazz all get above us.
English
CALL IT NOW: what draft pick will the Pelicans land tmmw night?
English
Pels got a few cost efficient players that I think can contribute next season even against regular competition.
I hope they see it too and don’t overthink this shit.
English
Noa Essengue is one of the best developmental trajectory bets in this class.
Continuous improvements in the offensive skillset (rim finishing, playmaking, shot creation) all while being highly productive in the top flight league of Germany at just 18 (!)
Bet on the production.
Jonathan Wasserman@NBADraftWass
Noa Essengue with his 2nd 20-point game of March this weekend for Ulm. For a kid so raw, who doesn't turn 19 until Christmas, impressive how consistently productive he's been. Always in the right place, right time for an easy bucket. Capitalizes in space. Three 3PTM in this one.
English
@TheZodiacGM @SwipaCam Could you also do this with:
Zion
Trey
Herb
English
Synergy; will be the primary focus. I'd want this trio to have the best possible teammates they connect well with, along with the highest optimal skillset, talent, and experience available.
Jokic (pisces)
Murray (pisces)
Gordon (virgo)
Targets
Whitmore (cancer)
Bitadze (cancer)
J. Smith Jr. (taurus)
Biyombo (virgo)
Bane (cancer)
Ty Jones (taurus)
Sexton (capricorn)
Beal (cancer)
Harris (cancer)
Lavine (pisces)
Valanciunas (taurus)
among many others

@sideshowbrady Im starting to like the roster set up. Still need to add defence in the offseason though
