The NBA Playoffs have shown that the New Orleans Pelicans still have a long way to go if they want to be a championship contender.
Despite Zion Williamson's development into a superstar, the NBA Pelicans failed to make the playoffs this season.
The Pels must demonstrate that they have a plan, have grown internally, and need to make the playoffs in order to be considered a success next season.
All of the remaining playoff teams have a chance to win the championship this season, and they all have things the Pelicans will need if they want to compete for one next season.
The Suns, Hawks, and Bucks are all part of the New Orleans Pelicans.
These three teams have been grouped together because they are all led by a superstar, similar to the New Orleans Pelicans.
Devin Booker is with the Suns, Trae Young is with the NBA 2K21 Hawks, and NBA Giannis Antetokounmpo is with the Bucks. The difference between the NBA Pels and these teams is that they all have strong supporting casts.
Jae Crowder and Mikal Bridges are two of the Suns' NBA 2K21 best players. NBA Clint Capella, Kevin Huerter, and D’Andre Hunter play for the Hawks, while Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday play for the Bucks.
While none of these players are superstars, they are precisely the type of NBA 2K21 role players that the Pelicans will require if they are to be the Suns next season.
New Orleans Pelicans: The NBA 2K21 Brooklyn Nets demonstrate the importance of a Big Three.
The Brooklyn Nets have demonstrated that having three elite scoring options can help compensate for a lack of defense and depth.
In NBA 2K21 Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, the Pelicans have two of those three options, but they are still looking for the third.
Is it possible that it's Lonzo Ball? Perhaps, but the Pelicans will have to look elsewhere for their third option.
