New Orleans Pelicans sell their late 2nd round draft pick, stay quiet for another NBA draft

The New Orleans Pelicans decided not to move up into the first round of this year’s NBA draft.

In fact, the Pelicans decided to move out of the draft completely.

The New Orleans Pelicans drafted Michigan State PF Branden Dawson with the 56th pick, however the plan is to sell the pick to the Los Angeles Clippers for cash considerations.
