If the New Orleans Pelicans decide to use their assets to trade up in the 2020 draft, they could have a shot at the number one pick.
A new day, a new draft profile for the New Orleans Pelicans.
Today we’re going to discuss the presumptive number one overall pick for the 2020 NBA draft: Anthony Edwards.
The Georgia freshman walked away with second team All-SEC and 2020 SEC Freshman of the Year awards after a stellar single season with the Bulldogs.
Heralded as the top shooting guard coming out of Holy Spirit Prep in Atlanta for 2019, he took the SEC by storm and got the Bulldogs some national attention despite going 16-16 for the season.
Like the possibility of LaMelo Ball, trying to get high enough in the draft to potentially take Edwards is going to take a lot of work and moving pieces, as the New Orleans Pelicans have just a 1.2 percent chance at the number one pick.
Is sacrificing Jrue Holiday worth this type of prospect?
Could we possibly make a Splash Brothers Lite in New Orleans?
Would making this kind of move keep the fanbase energized after landing Zion a year ago?
There are a lot of uncertainties going into the offseason, as the hiatus and possibility of cancellation have left the NBA in flux.
In a draft that is largely considered weak, the New Orleans Pelicans might be able to use some of their substantial draft assets to get another young player to pair with Zion Williamson and their impressive young core.
Should the New Orleans Pelicans try to move up and make some noise in the 2020 NBA draft?
Let’s talk.
