Kevin: I'll say no. I won't be terribly upset if they do, but from what I've seen he is well-rounded, but may never be spectacular. Those three guards seem to have a cleaner path to being impact players in the NBA. Also, he plays the same position as our best player and we should be looking to fill other holes. If the Pelicans do draft Bender, I think they should then trade away Holiday and Evans in order to do a total rebuild. He's more of a tear down the roster kind of prospect. I think we have a superstar and a great compliment so I'm not in favor of this team shaping strategy right now.
