New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole expressed optimism about the team’s trajectory, saying, “We’re at an age where we can do it together. We can get in the playoffs, play meaningful games, go through tough stretches as a unit. That’s really what builds teams.”
Poole highlighted the potential of the Pelicans’ young but talented roster, emphasizing teamwork and shared experience as keys to success.
The Pelicans have started the 2025 preseason 2–0, with wins over the Melbourne United and South East Melbourne Phoenix in Australia.
