With the NBA Lottery a distant memory, the New Orleans Pelicans’ staff and fans alike are wondering what the Pels will do with the first opening round selection they’ve had in four years. Having a top ten pick is so astonishingly rare around the Big Easy that even experts aren’t sure what the Pelicans will end up doing.
The staff here at Pelican Debrief have already offered several suggestions as to the best players that could be available in Jamal Murray, Buddy Hield, Dragon Bender, Jaylen Brown and Kris Dunn. I’ve offered my own personal ideas on some possible trade scenarios, should Demps tread those old familiar first round waters.
