The New Orleans Pelicans didn't make a ton of changes to their roster this offseason, much to the chagrin of many fans. This roster still had plenty of holes, even if they did like the talent that they did have. The few players they did bring in haven't made much of an impact to this point.

The Pelicans brought in three new players. Five games into the season, let's take a look at how their roles fit into this team:

Mathurin was a confusing add at the time, and continues to be just that. He's not a bad player, and the 24-year-old does still have some potential, but the fit isn't there on this roster. He isn't the floor spacer they need and hasn't been as consistent as getting to the free-throw line as much.

Part of the reason for that second point is that the team is actually trying to get him to shoot more. Per 36 minutes, he's taking 6.7 threes per game. The previous high in that mark was 5.3. Before getting traded last year, he was shooting 37.2% on 5.6 attempts per game. New Orleans would love to see a return to that.

Watford got his first action of the season on Thursday night, and he looked fantastic. He's another player who didn't bring much shooting, but made sense for the bottom of the bench for exactly those kinds of games. 

Jamahl Mosley spoke very highly of Watford after the game. The forward put up eight points, two assists, a rebound and three steals over 17 minutes and finished at +7. Watford is a well-rounded player who has been a positive presence in the building. Mosley essentially said that he is the model of the culture he wants the team to have.

Unsurprisingly, the Pelicans have yet to play Johnson and it looks like that debut won't be happening any time soon. The 21-year-old was assigned to the G League on Friday, where he'll at least get some minutes with the Laketown Squadron. Johnson has had some flashes at that level to start his career, but has never been able to put it together at the NBA level. The former first-round pick has some potential and is still super young, but they didn't take his option, so it'll just be about auditioning for his next team for the rest of this year.
