In incredible fashion, the New Orleans Pelicans secured the #1 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft when their ping pong ball got selected in the lottery. While the team only had a 6% chance to win this selection in the lotto, it’s turns out that was all the Pelicans needed.
It’s no secret who the New Orleans Pelicans will be taking #1 overall. Zion Williamson was the consensus top draft prospect for the entirety of last year’s NCAA basketball season. He’ll bring a spark to the organization that has been missing ever since Anthony Davis made his trade request back in February.
