What do you see for Naji Marshall for the rest of the year?

Naji has obviously played well this year. He has played good defense while improving his 3pt shooting, but I think myself and many others still don’t see him in the long term picture, mainly because we probably can’t pay him

Naji’s stats this year:

7.4 Points
3.5 Rebounds
2.0 Assists
44%FG
36%3PT
18.6 MPG

So here’s my question:

What does Naji’s role for the rest of the year on this team look like?

Do we believe that the Pelicans were playing Naji more than necessary in an attempt to possibly inflate his trade value as an add on piece in a deal?

If so, now that rosters are locked in do Naji’s minutes take a significant dive?

Personally, I do believe that while Naji has had a good year some of his play time was absolutely enhanced by his potential value on the trade market, and I do expect his minutes to go down.

To be clear, I love Naji, and if I could see him in a Pelicans uniform for the rest of his career I would, but it’s just not feasible with this roster.
