Yes, it's summer league play, but there's a discernible difference in the Pelicans through 3 games from previous years. This feels related, at least in part, to new coaching staff under Jamahl Mosley. Could be huge for regular season if 3-point shooting mentality translates. (Ranks in parentheses)

Can honestly envision only three players receiving NBA regular season minutes at some point: Kobe Bufkin (some team should to take a flier on him), Micah Peavy and Malik Dia. Would likely require unusual circumstances for Markquis Nowell to be a part of this group.

The New Orleans Pelicans select Jaron Pierre Jr. with the 58th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. The hometown kid -- he went to St. Augustine HS!! -- averaged 17.6 PPG for SMU last season. He's a smooth shooting guard who can score at all three levels, possessing some secondary playmaking ability too.
