Pelicans may have to consider Dragan Bender and his tantalizing skill set

Imagine this scenario coming to fruition: Simmons/Ingram/Dunn/Murray/Hield are all off the board and there sits Dragan Bender as the best available player at New Orleans selection. Should the Pelicans draft him, trade him (list one realistic trade partner) or look the other way and spend their pick on another player altogether?

Jason Albert: Personally I am not a fan of the idea of New Orleans drafting Dragan Bender. I watched a few of his highlight videos and I was left unimpressed. He finishes softly, often on second chances, over players who don’t look like they can play D1 college basketball.
