Jeremiah Robinson-Earl
NOP • F • #50
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl logged 33 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Thunder, finishing with 10 points (4-of-16 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 16 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one three-pointer.
Robinson-Earl struggled with his shot in Sunday’s season finale, but he did provide solid value in the rebound and assist categories. He didn’t offer much value throughout the season, as rotation minutes were not guaranteed. Unfortunately for Robinson-Earl, he’s likely to encounter a similar situation in New Orleans next season with a healthy Zion Williamson in the fold.

Kelly Olynyk
NOP • F-C • #13

Kelly Olynyk underwent “a minimally invasive surgery on his left heel and ultrasound guided tendon debridement.”
The recovery timetable for this procedure is three-to-four months, so Olynyk should be back before training camp. Olynyk was in and out of the lineup just before the end of the regular season, though that can at least partially be attributed to New Orleans looking to improve its lottery odds. Olynyk is entering the final season of a two-year deal that he initially signed with the Raptors.

Brandon Boston Jr. underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle.
Boston Jr. missed the final two months of the season and will miss at least three more after undergoing surgery. Boston Jr. played well for New Orleans in an expanded role due to injuries on the wing, and he was converted from a two-way deal to a standard contract in February. He has yet to play a game on this new deal, but based on this timeline, he should be ready well before training camp starts next season.

The Pelicans named Joe Dumars executive vice president of basketball operations.
Two days after firing lead executive David Griffin, the Pelicans officially hired his replacement, Dumars. Dumars served as Detroit’s president of basketball operations for 14 years and, most recently, was the NBA’s executive vice president and head of basketball operations. He’ll have some key questions to answer this offseason, most notably Willie Green’s future as head coach and whether or not Zion Williamson is equipped to remain a key figure in the Pelicans’ rebuild. While Zion has shown flashes of excellence, the inability to stay healthy has been an issue for New Orleans.

P.J. Washington
DAL • F • #25

PJ Washington struggled on Friday and contributed just six rebounds, three assists and two steals against the Grizzlies.
This was not the way Washington wanted to end his season, but he wasn’t alone. Both he and Dereck Lively II were held scoreless in this game despite both playing more than 20 minutes. Washington missed all five of his shot attempts, while Lively missed each of his two shots. Both found other ways to contribute in the box score, but this was an abysmal offensive performance for them. Washington and Lively will both be starters for Dallas again next season, and this one game isn’t enough for managers to be concerned about them next year, especially with Kyrie Irving coming back.
Zaccharie Risacher
ATL • F • #10

Zaccharie Risacher struggled on Friday and finished with just three points (1-of-11 FGs) and two steals against the Heat.
Risacher had a solid rookie season overall, but he didn’t end it on a high note. Risacher’s second postseason game was one to forget, and Quin Snyder didn’t leave him out there long to work through his struggles. He played 29 minutes on Tuesday, but he only played 16 minutes in Friday’s play-in loss. The No. 1 overall pick from last summer didn’t contribute much fantasy value in his rookie year, though he did have some big games sprinkled through the season. However, he’ll have to make some serious strides over the summer if he is going to be worth drafting in standard leagues next season.
Georges Niang

Georges Niang came off the Atlanta bench to produce 20 points (8-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and two three-pointers in 26 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Heat.
Niang put together another strong outing on Friday to add to his recent stretch of good performances. Including Atlanta’s play-in tournament loss to the Magic, Friday’s double-digit outing marked the fourth consecutive for the nine-year forward out of Iowa State. Niang settled in nicely and found a role with the Hawks after being traded from the Cavaliers earlier this season. He’ll likely be a deep-league option in fantasy leagues next season.
