Heading into the 2020 NBA Draft, the New Orleans Pelicans are going to have a chance to add to their core of young talent. However, packaging their second-round picks for a prospect they really like further up the draft board could yield a better return for the organization.
Projected to be picked near the end of the first round, if not the early second, Leandro Bolmaro is an international prospect who would make a lot of sense for the Pelicans.
While the team could still opt to take a few swings in the second round, it seems like targeting a prospect with a higher ceiling could be a way for the Pelicans to raise a special player through their system.
