The New Orleans Pelicans need an injection of talent at the guard position and could get it in the NBA Draft with Davion Mitchell.
Mitchell is one of the players most mocked to the Pelicans, and it makes sense, as he is a hard-nosed defender who can shoot 3-pointers, both things they need.
The Pelicans have a few glaring issues to address this offseason, namely their lack of defense and 3-point shooting, as they were near the bottom of the NBA in both.
Davion Mitchell is a winner, a tough player who gets after it on the defensive end and is considered one of the best on-the-ball defenders in this draft.
