Be the GM: New Orleans Pelicans draft Anthony Edwards

Drafting Anthony Edwards #1

Congrats! You have used your #1 pick to take Anthony Edwards, a young talented shooting guard who could be a star.

By pairing Lonzo Ball with Anthony Edwards, you are forming one of the youngest, most exciting backcourts in the league and potentially making the Pelicans a juggernaut on offense.

Here is your rotation:

PG: Lonzo Ball

SG: Anthony Edwards/Josh Hart/ J.J. Redick

SF: Brandon Ingram/Jake Layman/James Johnson

PF: Zion Williamson/Omari Spellman/Nicolo Melli

C: Jaxson Hayes/Free Agent

This move leaves you thin at point guard and center, but is potentially dominant on the offensive end.

Add a veteran rim protector and point guard in free agency and your roster is complete. The Pels are not as good defensively but have four young stars to build around.
