New Orleans Pelicans: Your choice with the 13th pick

Ignore the Trades, Take the Pick

You have decided not to take any of the trade offers and just use the 13th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

You make this move if you don’t like any of the trades, or you really like this current Pelicans’ roster.

There is a solid argument for just running it back with the same core, the 13th pick and whatever free-agent center or forward they can grab.

You obviously think the Pelicans are close to being in the playoffs and just need to tweak their roster a bit instead of making a splashy move.

The question is, how are you going to use the 13th pick?

The four options below are ones that I’ve seen in recent mock drafts. If you want someone else, sorry! Let me know in the comments who you would have taken instead.
