Mock draft projects this shooter to become a Pelican tonight

The 2023 NBA Draft is just one day away. And while there have been some rumblings about the New Orleans Pelicans potentially pulling off a massive trade to move up in the draft for G League Ignite guard Scoot Henderson, there is also a good chance that they just stand pat and keep their original first-round pick (the 14th overall pick in the draft).

If they don’t decide to go for a drastic roster overhaul and keep their current pick, this current iteration of the Pelicans could use help in three areas: shooting, rim protection, and rim pressure (outside of Zion Williamson).
