The New Orleans Pelicans can use a second-round pick to finally solve their back-up point guard problems

When the New Orleans Pelicans unraveled in the bubble a few months ago, they exposed a major weakness to the NBA world, their depth at the point guard position.

After spending most of the season with Lonzo Ball playing at a high level, the Pelicans appeared in good shape even if the players behind him weren’t anything to write home about. Then Lonzo Ball’s game fell apart in the bubble leaving Frank Jackson to take on big minutes for the team.
