It took Chris Paul only half a dozen seasons with the Pelicans — then branded the Hornets — to become the franchise’s all-time leader in Win Shares (a feat he later replicated with the LA Clippers). Among the guard’s many accomplishments with the team, “CP3” was the 2005-06 Rookie of the Years and a four-time All Star.

After Paul (76.4), the next biggest contributors to the New Orleans Pelicans by Win Shares are centers Anthony Davis (72.0), David West (47.0) and P.J. Brown (29.6), and guard Jrue Holiday (24.6).
The second team of Pelicans standouts is led by yet another center, Tyson Chandler (21.3), who spent just three seasons with the team. He is joined by Ryan Anderson (16.2), Peja Stojakovic (15.8), Emeka Okafor (14.7) and Jamaal Magloire (14.6).
