Anthony Davis is the only player to score 10,000+ points for the franchise.
1. Anthony Davis – 11,059 Points
Drafted No. 1 out of Kentucky, Davis quickly became the face of the Pelicans franchise. Over seven seasons in New Orleans, AD made six All-Star teams, averaging 23.7 PPG, 10.5 REB and 2.4 BLK. He was also named to three All-NBA First Teams. With his trademark reach and smooth post game, Davis is difficult to stop for any defender.
2. David West – 8,690 Points
An imposing, strong power forward with an immaculate midrange jumper, West partnered with Chris Paul to become a fixture in New Orleans. Over eight seasons in New Orleans, West made two All-Star teams, topping out at 21.0 PPG in 2009.
“He’s not in it for the spotlight,” Paul said of his teammate. “All he cares about is getting buckets.”
3. Chris Paul – 7,936 Points
Chris Paul was one of the great point guards in franchise history, going on to have a wide-ranging, historic career across the NBA. After being drafted No. 3 in 2008, Paul spent six seasons with the New Orleans, peaking as a scorer with 22.8 PPG in 2009, before being traded to the LA Clippers.
4. Jrue Holiday – 7,321 Points
Holiday spent seven seasons in New Orleans after coming over from the Philadelphia 76ers. A stalwart defender, he also was a valued scorer for the Pelicans, averaging 17.6 PPG. Holiday uses strength and savvy to get to the rim, rather than pure explosiveness, and has developed a reliable three-point shot.
5. Brandon Ingram – 7,017 Points
A long and lanky scorer out of Duke, Ingram became a consistent bucket-getter for the Pelicans after coming over from the Los Angeles Lakers. He averaged 20+ PPG in each of his six seasons in New Orleans, peaking at 24.7 PPG in 2023. His soft touch and improving outside game make him a challenge for any defense.
