Key Additions: Alonzo Gee, Kendrick Perkins
Key Subtractions: Jimmer Fredette, Toney Douglas
Games against Suns: (A) Sun, Nov. 22, (H) Wed, Nov. 25, (H) Fri, Dec. 18, (A) Sat, Apr. 9
Series Prediction: 2-2, Tie
Preview: In my less than professional opinion, this is the year the Pelicans finally make some noise in the west. In addition to the team making noise, this is the year that Anthony Davis makes a huge leap into the top 5 players in the NBA. I think he’s got a chance to win MVP this year. Alvin Gentry and the up-tempo offense is going to be a great fit for this young team eager to prove that they belong in the playoffs.
