The New Orleans Pelicans should stay away from these three players in the NBA Draft.

The New Orleans Pelicans have four picks in the upcoming NBA Draft and are hoping to find some impact talent to deepen their roster.

With little money to spend in free agency, the Pelicans will need to hit home runs in the draft or try to make a trade of one of their current players.

Trading someone like Jrue Holiday seems less likely now that the Pels have hired Stan Van Gundy, who has spoken highly of the veteran and will probably want to keep him around.
