Trendon Watford's one-year deal with the New Orleans Pelicans adds depth to a frontcourt that's already crowded. We break down the biggest position battles heading into training camp, including the guard and wing rotations. Who will earn the backup minutes? We make our roster predictions and pick who's trending up.

The Pelicans are coming off a quiet summer, but the competition for spots is fierce. Watford brings versatility, but he'll have to earn his role. Young players are pushing for minutes, and veterans are fighting to keep their jobs. We analyze the depth chart and predict a surprise cut.

We also revisit our NBA Cup prediction and double down on the Pelicans bringing it home. With a deep roster and a chip on their shoulder, this team is dangerous. Subscribe to the Beatline Podcast Network for more Pelicans coverage.
