NBA All-Time Starting 5 of the New Orleans Pelicans

Forward – David West

Spending eight seasons in the Big Easy, David West is a team legend. He was vital in the team’s first and only division title in 2008, wherein he was an All-Star. West was a consistent scorer throughout his time with the then-Hornets, averaging double figures in points for six seasons.

West sits second in the team’s all-time scoring list but first in total minutes played. He also ranks second in rebounds, fourth in steals, and second in blocks. His No. 30 jersey will surely be retired in the near future following his retirement in 2018. West won two NBA championships with the Golden State Warriors.

Honorable Mention: Forward – P.J. Brown

A great role player for the then-Hornets during his four-year stint, Brown was the team’s veteran leader. He averaged 10.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 blocks for the team. He is fourth in total minutes played, third in total rebounds, ninth in assists, sixth in steals, and fifth in blocks on the team’s all-time leaderboard.
