After 10 years in Golden State, Looney signed with the Pelicans this offseason. The veteran will be the primary backup to Yves Missi, who played well as a rookie last season. New Orleans also drafted Derik Queen with the No. 13 overall pick, and he may play some small-ball five. Karlo Matkovic will be Looney's top competition for minutes behind Missi, while two-way rookie Hunter Dickinson provides emergency depth. Looney never misses time, grabs rebounds at a high rate and shoots typically above 55 percent. However, he's averaged more than 20 minutes per game for an entire season only twice in his career. Even if Missi misses extended time, the Pelicans likely replace him with 25-plus minutes of Looney every night. With his fantasy value at an all-time low, you don't need to waste a top-250 pick on Looney. Looney will miss two to three weeks due to a proximal tibiofibular ligament sprain in his left knee.
