The American media selected the strongest lineup in the history of the Pelicans, led by the boxing champion and Sao Paulo, and 3 active players were selected.
Point guard, Chris Paul.
Paul was drafted by the Pelicans with the fourth pick in 2005 and showed amazing strength in his rookie season, averaging 161 point, 51 rebound and 78 assists, 2With 24 steals, he was named Rookie of the Year and quickly became the top commander in the league. He led the team to the playoffs three times in his six seasons with the Pelicans, but unfortunately the team never went far. In the 2007 and 2008 playoffs, Paul played in 12 games, averaging 24 per game1 point and 112 assists. He has long been regarded as the most well-rounded point guard in the league, showing outstanding ability in offense, defense, and playmaking.
Shooting guard, Byron Davis.
He played for the team for more than five seasons between 1999 and 2005, during which time he was a career highlight, including two NBA All-Star selections, two NBA steals titles, an NBA All-Star Game in 2004, and a three-time NBA Team of the Year selection, which helped the team advance to the playoffs for five consecutive seasons, but unfortunately they never made it past the Western Conference semifinals.
Small forward, Brandon Ingram.
In his debut season, Ingram averaged 238 points, 61 rebound, 42 assists, 463% shooting percentage and 39He shot 1 percent from three-point range for the first time and was named the Most Improved Player. Now in the 2023 24 season, Ingram is averaging 217 points and 54 assists and 49 percent shooting7%, and his excellent scoring ability has put him in the elite ranks among NBA forwards. The 26-year-old has already shown the shadow of Kevin Durant in his career.
Power forward, Anthony Davis.
No one seems to be able to shake Anthony Davis' position in this position at the moment. After all, in the history of the Pelicans, whether it is the scoring list, rebounding list or block list, Davis is at the top of the list. He had a particularly good season in '17-18, playing in 75 games and averaging 28 per game1 point, 111 rebound, 23 assists, 15 steals and 26 caps. This performance not only earned him an All-Star team, but also won the All-Team First Team and All-Defensive First Team honors, and was also selected as the block king.
Center, Tyson Chandler.
He was the Pelicans' first All-Star interior player to make a name for himself by feeding out his tactics, and while his talent wasn't outstanding, he became an indispensable interior guardian for the team. In New Orleans, he found his stage as the best defender and arguably the best blue-collar center. It's no secret that the Clippers are known for their air-to-air tactics and have taken this tactic to the extreme. However, during Paul's time in New Orleans, his aerial team-up with Chandler also appeared frequently on the top 10 list.
