Lottery teams that could trade #1 overall pick for Pelicans’ Anthony Davis

It wasn’t long ago, six-years ago to be exact, when New Orleans Pelicans Superstar Anthony Davis was the prize possession and consensus No. 1 pick in the months leading up to the 2012 NBA draft. In a class that was widely considered average at best, the entire Association knew Davis was the cream of the crop who possessed immense potential.

Sound familiar? If so, it’s because a similar situation is brewing at the top of the 2019 NBA draft.

Zion Williamson, the 6’6 285-pound Duke standout and recently selected John R. Wooden awardee, similar to Anthony Davis, is widely recognized as the can’t-miss prospect in his draft class.
