New Orleans Pelicans
0 roto titles · 24 seasons (2002-03–2025-26) · NOH → NOK → NOP
Nearly, but not yet. In 24 seasons the New Orleans Pelicans have peaked at 3rd of 30, in 2017-18. Their average finish is 18.9 all time, against 18.3 over the last ten seasons, essentially unchanged from its historical level.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Anthony Davis in 2017-18, worth a 21.1 z-score. He owns 7 of the franchise’s 50 best seasons outright. The All-Franchise Team below is strictly positional, which is hard on Ryan Anderson, Tyson Chandler and Peja Stojakovic: each rates above somebody who made a team, but every slot at their position was already spoken for.
