If he falls, New Orleans Pelicans must select Dragan Bender

He’s thin, he’s barely played basketball this season and his shooting is streaky. On the other hand, he is seven feet tall, he has an excellent shooting touch and he is oddly quick for his size. He is Dragan Bender, and the New Orleans Pelicans, most likely, will not have the chance to draft the him, the perfect big man to pair with superstar Anthony Davis.

Of course, many would have you believe that Dragan Bender is not the perfect front court mate for the Destroyer of Worlds (Anthony Davis). A thin, European man-child is not exactly the quintessential rim protector many want to see manning the paint for the New Orleans Pelicans.
