The New Orleans Pelicans had one of their most important drafts in team history in 2019, securing Zion Williamson with the number one overall pick.

This is a move that they would not take back, as Zion has blossomed into a superstar already and could end up as a generational talent if he can stay healthy.

But he wasn’t the only guy they drafted in 2019, as that draft also produced Jaxson Hayes, with the 8th pick, Nickeil Alexander-Walker with the 17th pick and Didi Louzada with the 35th pick.
