The New Orleans Pelicans have a long few months ago until the NBA Draft, but Saddiq Bey from the Villanova Wildcats might be the best target for the team, both within their range and on their board as a whole.
While the front office will have a long time to put their big board together over the next few months, Bey’s package is one of the most promising of any potential fit for the Pelicans. Plus he could see his fair share of playing time during his first season, thus speeding up development.
Projecting as a range-y, 3-and-D wing with a high floor, the two-way impact of Bey seems likely to be felt from his first season in the NBA.
