1 Pelicans Player in danger of loss of starting work in the training camp 2025-26

When the 2025-26 season officially opens later next month, New Orleans Pelicans Whether the team who wants to turn things and compete in the Western Conference. Returning to last deadline, pelican made several stores to shake their core in branding brandon ingram in Toronto Raptors and Trading CJ McCollum in Vizardshing Vizards. Attacked in the west will be difficult, and they will probably come with the Pelican starter who lost the place during training.

The past few seasons, the pelicans saw injuries that hoped and health played another big factor this season, especially when it comes to stars forward Zion Williamson. But under the condition that pelicans have a pure slate of health, it could ever be with starters.

When Pelicans are traded by McCollum, Jordan Poole received in return. Poole figures to replace McCollum into the starting lineup. Dejounte Murrai, Pelican The main axisization BC, the figures for the start of the season aside while continuing to continue injury to Achilles. When it comes back, it should start in the background next to Poole.

Williamson’s starting point in the frontor is safe, and if pelicans want to continue the traditional center in the starting environment, the second-year large man Ives Missy should be safe. It would leave Herb Jones and Trey Murphy III as players in danger of losing their starter job during the Pelican training camp.

Jones is an all-defensive player, and Murphy made the jump to be a solid and a versatile defense counsel. Both personalities be in starts when the season starts, but when Murray returned to the court, it will ask questions for Pelicans.

Pelican are obviously invested in the development of both players, who signed Murphy for a long-term extension at the beginning of last season and The signing of Jones on the long-term extension of this OFSANS. They both spent a career in this point alternately between the start and rising from the bench.

Jones was limited to only 20 games last season due to the injury of shoulders, but continued to average double data in points with 10.3, to go with 3.9 rebounds, 3.3 helps and 1.9 theft. He recorded 43.6 percent from the field, 30.6 percent from the line in point and 82.5 percent from the free throw line.

One thing Murphy could have in its affection in terms of the remaining in the starting lineup is his offensive top ceiling. It was last season of cases where Murphy looked like a player with the All-Star Caliber bud. This last season has appeared in 53 matches only 35 minutes per game. He was ahead of a career of 21.2 points high, after returning seasons based on placing 14+ points.

Jones is positive for insult, especially with the ball that could actually give him a little advantage in the camp. With players like Williamson, Poola and Murray who succeed with the ball in their hands, in the moment, spot-up shooter who can cut and moves like Jones would fit well with other starters. Before his injury, which strayed 2024-25, Jones went out with High Career 41.8 percent from three points.

But if pelicans want to hurt more and record creation next to other starters, then Murphi would have a leg. Last season, he took the best 15.8 recording attempts and shot 45.4 percent from the field.

Early projections would have Jones and Murphy as two players on bubbles in the beginning, but Pelicans could always throw monkey key in fact and decide to bring one of Poola and Murray from the bench.
