New Orleans Pelicans

Current Picks: 6,39,40

The Pelicans have good talent and a superstar, yet they went from a playoff team to a high lottery team. They struggled with injuries this past year, but underachieved. They were a bad shooting team and had a sub-par bench outside of Ryan Anderson. They will have their pick of a good player with the 6th selection though. Eric Gordon is a free agent and it isn’t too likely they will resign him either.

Team Needs: SG,C,PG

Players available at 6: Hield, Murray, or Dunn could be there at 6. It is almost a guarantee that they end up with one of those three players.

Players available at 39 and 40: Caris LeVert, Malcolm Brogdon, Zhou Qi, and Michael Gbinije

Next: Phoenix Suns
