#7) Darius Miller

Darius Miller was selected as the 46th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. The Pelicans had two first-round selections that year, and he happens to be the last one standing.

Miller is 8th all-time in three-point makes in franchise history, with 327. He led the team in the 2018/19 campaign with 133 three-point field goals, but his efficiency dipped down from 41.1 percent in the 17/18 season to 36.5 this season.

He enters this summer as an unrestricted free agent and with the current revamping of the Pelicans’ roster, his future is in question.

Nonetheless, he was definitely worth the second round selection seven years ago. The team desperately needs shooting—he can help in that regard—but if they decide against it I wish the fan favorite nothing but the best.
