The New Orleans Pelicans have three chances to find a sleeper in the 2nd round of the NBA Draft.

The New Orleans Pelicans have to approach this NBA Draft with an open mind and plenty of phones.

With such little time to evaluate players and not much tape to look at, teams are going to have to rely more on the instincts and predictions of scouts than ever before.

This could lead to a record number of draft day trades as teams try to trade down or even out in a draft where there is no real consensus about who the best players are.
