The 2026 draft class looks incredibly promising with multiple prospects already emerging as intriguing No. 1 overall pick options, including Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa, and Cameron Boozer.
The New Orleans Pelicans traded away their own unprotected 2026 first-round pick to move up ten spots in the 2025 NBA Draft to select Derik Queen with the No. 13 overall pick.
The Pelicans are 0-6 to start the 2025-26 season.
See how this might be a problem? That's to put it gently, as this has the potential to be one of the worst draft day trades in NBA history.
