March Madness magic creates stars from overlooked NCAA talent. Everyone has heard of the top lottery prospects, but it’s the second tier of players that the New Orleans Pelicans should focus on in the upcoming NBA Draft.
The conference tournaments are settled. Selection Sunday determined the layout of the brackets. The 2019 NBA Draft has several potential stars, but only by trading Anthony Davis could the Pelicans realistically acquire Duke’s Zion Williamson, the obvious best player and future #1 overall pick. Currently, the Pelicans have two second round picks, plus a likely trade haul for AD containing one or two more 2019 draft selections.
