The New Orleans Pelicans didn’t get any luck in the NBA Draft lottery, so they will choose 10th in the upcoming NBA Draft.
The Pelicans only had a slight chance to jump into the top four, so it wasn’t a big shock when they stayed at 10, though it was disappointing.
The Pelicans have a number of options with this pick and are likely to explore trade possibilities using it as an asset.
But this is also a very deep draft, and though there is a consensus top five, there are still some very good players who would help fix some of their glaring holes.
