I think Jackson makes a lot of sense. They are more centrally located on the map of other D-league cities. It would also expand the Pelicans brand into MS.
Depends on Benson's motivation in forming a team. I'd have to think it's trying to tap into a relatively close market to try and spur interest in the parent club hoping that it could result in ticket sales for the Pels. I think that's the only reason why you have St. Tammany on the list. My guess is that Biloxi, Mobile and Lafayette are the front-runners.

Biloxi,mobile or Pensacola is going to be it. I'd bet on it.

I agree, I think Lafayette should be a big front-runner. 2 hours down I-10 or 2.5 down Hwy 90. Which brings more of Acadiana in between both Pels and their d-league affiliate in Lafayette. There's a ton of Saints season ticket holders in Lafayette. Pels could really benefit from attracting more people from this area.
Also, the Cajundome just underwent a $20Million complete renovation. It looks like a professional arena now. Not the Cajundome of old. And the Icegators are no longer a thing, bring in NBAD, and I think it generates a big buzz.
