The New Orleans Pelicans have made big moves throughout the 2025 NBA offseason, with additions like Jordan Poole, Saddiq Bey, Kevon Looney, Jeremiah Fears, and Derik Queen turning heads. Of course, the Pelicans have not seen legitimate success in years, so many are skeptical, regardless of the talent that is on their roster. With a core group of their new additions, Zion Williamson, Trey Murphy III, Herb Jones, Yves Missi, Dejounte Murray, and more, the Pelicans could certainly make some noise during this upcoming NBA season, but their expectations are still concerningly low.
