Pelicans Scoop writer Terry Kimble makes his HITP debut as we discuss a quiet offseason for the Pels and the big expectations facing the team as they prepare to start training camp. Who makes the biggest leap? Are the Pelicans as deep as they appear? Is this finally Brandon Ingram's team and how does Zion fit in to that? Which player(s) are most likely to be moved? Plenty of questions and we give our best answers.
