What a crazy and absolutely unbelievable night for the New Orleans Pelicans! To win the NBA Draft Lottery on a 6% chance is insane. Zion Williamson is now the sure fire #1 overall choice for New Orleans, and it isn’t even close. It’s the first time the Pels have owned the top pick since they selected Anthony Davis in 2012. This is an incredible opportunity for the Pelicans to capitalize on a negative situation.
The city has been celebrating online non-stop, and it was a breath of life into an organization that was in a funk with the Anthony Davis situation looming over everyone.
