5 Reasons Why New Orleans Pelicans Fans Should Be Excited For 2014-15 Season

Ryan Anderson is the perfect stretch four, and the Pelicans missed him last season. He is a great fit with this team because of the amount of drive and dish guards the Pelicans have. Anderson will have a lot of open looks this season, which means a lot of made three-pointers.

Every time you want to get excited about Eric Gordon, he gets hurt. For the time being, Gordon is healthy and if he finds a way to stay on the court this season, it will be a huge boost for New Orleans. When healthy, Gordon is a dynamic scorer and has what this team needs to take the next step.

Jrue Holiday had a disappointing first year in New Orleans. He missed most of the season with injuries. Holiday should have a bounce back season and show why the Pelicans gave up a first-round pick to get the former All-Star. If everyone stays relatively healthy, he will have no problem finding guys to distribute the ball to.

Pairing Omer Asik with Anthony Davis will give the Pelicans one of the best frontcourt defenses in the league. Both players are true rim protectors, and Davis has the versatility to guard players on the outside. Teams will have a long night trying to score points in the paint against New Orleans.

The chance to watch Anthony Davis play 82 games is about as exciting as it gets. Davis just keeps getting better and is considered to be the next superstar in the league. There doesn't seem to be anything he can't do on a basketball court.
