Let’s face it, the New Orleans Pelicans have been tough to watch throughout this season. From injuries, to poor adjustment, to a new system, to just a lack of talent, it’s been hard to have any hope for what could be in New Orleans basketball. However, the sole bright light of the season is approaching before our very eyes: the NCAA Tournament.
For the first time since 2013, the New Orleans Pelicans project to have a significant lottery pick in the next NBA Draft. The Pelicans are currently projected at pick #6 in the NBA Draft, just a game ahead of the Sacramento Kings and three games ahead of the New York Knicks and the Denver Nuggets.
