Pelicans are the young team with Championship goals. Zion Williamson is back along with CJ McCollum and Brandon Ingram but are the New Orleans Pelicans A Contender or a Pretender?

I think it will take a full season to get used to having Zion back.
In many ways a player like Zion is a lot like a LeBron James type athlete, without the exceptional passing and offensive leadership. So his teammates will tend to "Zion Watch" which can impede the flow of the offense.
He seems to be far more effective and explosive on ball rather than off ball, which is the same for Brandon Ingram.
C.J can play off ball.
We'll see but i think it will take a full season to adjust to having him back.
3-4 seed WCF
Next season champs
Honestly I think even without Zion on this team is really good possibly contenders it's just too many casuals didn't watch enough games last season to see how good they really are
Suns 7-9 seed
Only teams better than the pelicans are the clippers and warriors and maybe Dallas because of Luka tbh no other team is better
👍
