New Orleans center Missi is No. 7. The Pelicans have been ravaged by injuries, and it’s made life a bit harder for the Cameroonian big man. A truly elite athlete in terms of explosiveness, Missi hasn’t exactly received premier service on his rim runs without CJ McCollum, Dejounte Murray or Zion Williamson, who has played in just 30 percent of Missi’s minutes to this point.
Four of Missi’s most common lineup mates so far have been Jose Alvarado, Jordan Hawkins, Javonte Green and Brandon Boston Jr. I’m intrigued to see what Missi looks like when the guards get back and the Pelicans get healthy. He looks more ready to play than I expected, and he’s the kind of athlete who profiles best playing around better players.

I think a Dejounte, Herb, Ingram, Trey, Missi lineup would be vicious on defense
Missi has been a breath of fresh air.
And DJM, CJ, Herb coming back will only make things easier for him
