The new NBA Draft Lottery algorithm odds came in clutch this year. In the NBA conspiracy world of loaded ping pong balls, ref scandals, and frozen envelopes, maybe Gayle Benson pulled some strings to get this to work in the Pelicans’ favor (sarcasm). Either way, the New Orleans Pelicans came out knowing that Zion Williamson needs a local realtor pretty soon.
The excitement is palpable. Alvin Gentry could barely contain himself. A tremor just shook the NBA to the core and the aftershocks will be felt for years to come. Zion is likely spending the better part of the next decade in New Orleans.
