Lance Stephenson said that he's expecting to be one of the primary ball handlers in New Orleans while Tyreke Evans (knee) and Jrue Holiday (personal) are sidelined.

"Oh, of course. That’s basically part of my game," Stephenson said when asked if he expects to handle the ball more often in New Orleans. "Whatever the coach tells me to do." Stephenson's deal with the Pelicans is only partially guaranteed, so he'll need to impress at camp in order to make the team. He's only worth a late-round flier in deep leagues given that his value will likely fall apart once the team is at full strength. Sep 21 - 12:03 PM

Pos	Role	Name
PG	1	Jrue Holiday Sidelined Jrue Holiday's wife Lauren gave birth to a healthy girl this week. She's expected to undergo surgery in about six weeks to remove a benign tumor from the right side of her brain, so we wish Jrue and his family nothing but the best. The Pelicans have been very supportive of Holiday's decision and will give him as much time as he needs. "When the time is right, he'll return," Pelicans GM Dell Demps said. "But as of now, our hearts and prayers are with them. And we're hoping that Lauren has a successful surgery." Until Holiday returns to New Orleans, Tim Frazier is the favorite to hold down the fort at PG, making him an intriguing late-round flier. Sep 24

SF	1	Tyreke Evans Sidelined Tyreke Evans revealed that he developed a blood clot in his calf after his most recent knee surgery. This definitely helps to explain why Evans is taking a slow road back to action. "I had to take a step back, but I kept working hard in my rehab," he said. Doctors have told Evans not to rush his return, and the swingman also said he's not aware of any concerns that doctors have about the clotting being an ongoing issue. Between all of his recent knee surgeries, an uncertain timeline to get back on the floor and the news of a blood clot, it's virtually impossible to recommend burning a draft pick—even in the later rounds—on the former Rookie of the Year.

	2	Solomon Hill
	3	Quincy Pondexter Sidelined Pelicans GM Dell Demps said that the earliest Quincy Pondexter (knee surgeries) could return is in November. "The next 2-4 weeks will give us a better understanding of when he’ll be ready to play," Demps said. "Best-case scenario for him would be November [to return], but it also could be December or January for him as well." With Tyreke Evans (knee) expected to miss the beginning of the season, Solomon Hill should be the heavy favorite to start at SF on opening night. Sep 26

PF	1	Anthony Davis Sidelined Anthony Davis (knee surgery) is not under any medical restrictions at training camp. Davis underwent a procedure on his left knee cap this summer, and also revealed during his exit interview that he dealt with a torn labrum for the past three years, but he's reportedly fully recovered from both those issues and is looking to enter the 2016-17 season with a clean bill of health. Davis was withheld from competing in Tuesday's scrimmage, but Alvin Gentry described the absence as precautionary saying everything the Pelicans do with Davis is predicated on him being "1000 percent" healthy for opening night. Target him towards the end of Round 1. Sep 28

	2	Alexis Ajinca Sidelined Alexis Ajinca sounded confident when asked about the possibility of being the starter at center. "I will be a starter this year. You'll see," Ajinca said. He would have to beat out Omer Asik, which isn't too hard based on how the Pelicans haven't fared well with him on the court. For what it's worth, the Pelicans had a plus-8.7 net rating with Ajinca and Antohny Davis lineups and a minus-7.5 net rating with Davis and Asik. Regardless, there's no need to be too aggressive in drafting any Pelican big besides The Brow. Sep 23
