Pelicans NBA Draft: Johnny Juzang should be a second round target

The New Orleans Pelicans will enter the 2021 NBA Draft with five picks and a number of needs.

I’ve suggested that the Pels should trade their first round pick in some type of package to bring back a player but that still leaves four picks in the second round.

The Pelicans could use these picks as ammunition to try and move up into the first round, could look for players that could help them now, draft a few international players to stash overseas or target players to fill out their G-League team.
