Mock Draft 2.0: New Orleans Pelicans Jump into Top Four

The New Orleans Pelicans and Boston Celtics enter the draft with plenty of young talent already on the roster.

Boston will likely swing for high-level potential with this pick, or a guy that they could stash overseas and develop for a few years.

Leandro Bolmaro is just 19 and has some raw skills that need refining, so he might fall into the latter category for the Celtics.

Bolmaro’s size at 6-foot-7 and potential elite defensive ability might entice someone to take him higher in the draft, but his offensive game lacks refinement and he shot just 27.9 percent from long-range.

The Celtics don’t really need him, but Bolmaro’s timeline could work well with the eventual departure of Gordan Heyward.

With the league on hiatus and possibly cancelled, this could be one of the craziest drafts in league history.
