In continuing with our ongoing coverage of the 2023 NBA Draft (which will take place on Thursday, June 22), we take a look at a prediction made by Tyler Watts of The Smoking Cuban on what the New Orleans Pelicans might do with the 14th overall pick.
We’re going to sound like a broken record by the end of this cycle, but as we examine Watts’ pick, keep in mind that the Pelicans have three main areas of need: 1) shooting, 2) rim protection, and 3) rim pressure outside of Zion Williamson.
