Ahead of what figures to be an unprecedented lead-up to the 2020 NBA Draft, Pelicans.com caught up with Sports Illustrated staff writer and NBA draft analyst Jeremy Woo, to help us learn more about this year’s crop of prospects. New Orleans will learn where its first-round pick lands during Thursday’s draft lottery, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on ESPN. The Pelicans have a 5.7 percent chance of moving somewhere in the top four, but also could wind up with the No. 13 or No. 14 selections, the latter if Memphis moves up to a top-four pick.
Pelicans.com: New Orleans obviously hit the jackpot by winning the lottery in 2019, when there was a clear-cut, consensus top pick in Zion Williamson.
