New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Green faces tough decisions for his starting lineup this season as key players appear set for starting roles.

Champions Dejounte Murray, Zion Williamson, and Brandon Ingram seem to have secured spots, while veteran Daniel Thies or rookie Yves Missi will likely fill a fourth spot. This setup could create bench roles for CJ McCollum, Trey Murphy, or Herbert Jones.

Green's lineup choices could impact player roles and minutes throughout the season.
