Looking to continue building on their exciting young core of talent, the New Orleans Pelicans could look to the University of Louisville’s Jordan Nwora, who should be on the board when the team gets a few chances to pick in the second round.
Playing three seasons with the Louisville Cardinals, Nwora nearly made the jump to the NBA last season, where he was projected to fall in a similar position on the board.
Another year of development in college didn’t help his draft stock, but it did provide a pretty good proving point for his ability to succeed at the NBA, as consistency in the performances of young players is important to monitor while evaluating their value.
