After making it past the first round of the playoffs for the first time in a decade, the New Orleans Pelicans had a lackluster summer. Here are their complete 2018 offseason grades.
Anthony Davis was a man on a mission last season. Leading the DeMarcus Cousins-less New Orleans Pelicans, the Brow averaged 35.0 points, 13.0 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game over the month of March, shouldering the load and doing whatever it took to keep his team winning.
Davis finished third in the MVP race and experienced playoff success, with New Orleans sweeping the third seeded Portland Trail Blazers in the first round.
The Pelicans ultimately lost to both the reigning and eventual champion Golden State Warriors, but this was just a taste of the individual and postseason success Davis can achieve.
With all this in mind, the Pelicans first and most important priority should be keeping their young Superstar content. Roster turnover aside, if they can continue to turn out a competitive team, then their offseason as whole should be considered a success.
With all this in mind, here are the complete 2018 offseason grades for the New Orleans Pelicans.
