The New Orleans Pelicans are hoping for more luck in tonight’s NBA Draft Lottery.

They bucked the odds in 2019, when they landed the number one pick with only six percent odds to do so, and got even luckier that Zion Williamson happened to be coming out that year.

It takes a lot of luck to get a superstar in the draft, as you have to get lucky in the NBA Draft Lottery and land a top pick, but also in a year when there is a superstar.
