Come back each day in the month leading up to the 2014-15 NBA season tip off, as Ball So Hard’s Matt Sampson and a rotating cast of Fiasco Sports writers rank and preview each team in the league.

The New Orleans Pelicans are the hipster team of moment. Their unconventional branding and roster has endeared them to NBA savants and many expect them to be a force in coming years. Anthony Davis is steadily trending towards being a legitimate MVP candidate and he now has Omer Asik to help him defend the rim. Meanwhile, Jrue Holiday, Eric Gordon and Tyreke Evans ooze potential. Matt and Tim tackle all the tough questions about the former Hornets, like has Pierre the Pelican finally kicked the drugs and will Jimmer Fredette play for China in the next FIBA World Cup?
