New Orleans Pelicans: Who Starts Alongside Anthony Davis

New Orleans Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry said only Anthony Davis is assured a starting spot; so who may we see start next to him opening night?

The New Orleans Pelicans head into the regular season with a lot of questions marks. Head coach Alvin Gentry needs to figure out his rotation, as it is currently unsettled. More importantly, who will start games along with Anthony Davis?

The Pelicans’ franchise cornerstone is the only sure thing in the starting lineup right now. Gentry said so himself when talking to the media prior to the Pelicans first preseason game against the Dallas Mavericks.

With that being said, who should we expect to see in the starting lineup come October 26th when the Pelicans begin the regular season against the Denver Nuggets?

For the first preseason game, Davis was joined by free-agent signings E’Twaun Moore, Langston Galloway and Solomon Hill; along with holdover Alexis Ajinca.

Gentry made it clear that things are very likely to change throughout the preseason, as he will shuffle around different combinations of players and lineups.

Gentry has a lot of time to decide who the starting lineup will be, as there is plenty of minutes available. Jrue Holiday will be away from the team while his wife recovers from brain surgery.
