Micah Peavy, of your Georgetown Hoyas, has been selected 10th in the second round—40th overall—by the New Orleans Pelicans (via the Washington Wizards) in the NBA Draft. While keeping Peavy in Washington would have been really cool for local Hoyas fans, seeing him scooped up by the Pelicans and headed to NOLA appears to be a terrific match.
Peavy enjoyed himself in the moment and looked stylish, eventually switching to the Pelicans hat.
Peavy’s draft rights were traded to the New Orleans Pelicans as part of a trade. This trade sent CJ McCollum and Kelly Olynyk to the Wizards in exchange for Jordan Poole, Saddiq Bey, and the second-round pick used to select Peavy.
