Jeremiah Fears put up 18 points (6-of-15 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, seven assists, a steal, and two blocks in loss on Friday to the Grizzlies.

With no Dejounte Murray, fears is the clear PG on the team, and he will have to run this offense at a high level to keep the Pelicans in games. He will have more opportunities to score points without him there, and there should be more of an offensive hierarchy on the team.
