When taking a look at the New Orleans Pelicans roster heading into the 2024-25 NBA season, there is a lot to like. A lot of the issues that plagued their offense last season late in games will disappear with Dejounte Murray taking over as the starting point guard. As head coach, the defense has been Willie Green's calling card. Murray has shown capable of excelling on that end and should return closer to the production we saw earlier in his career with the San Antonio Spurs.
