Should The Pelicans Try To Acquire A Second-Round Pick In This Year's Draft?
- The New Orleans Pelicans are prepping for the NBA Draft later this month. New Orleans currently has the No. 21 pick in the first round but no picks after that. Most experts predict the Pelicans will look to add size to the interior with the expected losses of Jonas Valanciunas and Cody Zeller this summer. The Pels should look to add a backcourt playmaker and ballhandler at some point this offseason.
NBADrafts.net released its yearly analysis of all the potential draftees for this year. Here is their review of a few guards that could be available in the second round if the Pelicans chose to acquire a pick then.: Big, smooth playmaking combo guard … Excellent size given his skill set … Excellent rebounder at the guard position … A good passer and can be trusted to lead an offense, as he did for the 2-time champion Huskies … Reliable.
Has good footwork on the catch – does a good job of getting his feet under him and ready to elevate for his jumper. Can create open looks for jumpers with his step back. Has added a lethal runner that he uses when defenders run him off the three point line. Is able to score reliably at three different levels. Is able to absorb contact at the rim and knocks down his free throws at a high rate -86.
