We researched ten sites to find a consensus for the New Orleans Pelicans in this NBA Mock Draft.

The New Orleans Pelicans have four picks in the NBA Draft and there is no telling how they will use them.

They could try to use multiple picks to trade up, which is likely if there is someone they like in the early second round.

The Pelicans could trade one of their veteran contracts to move up in the draft with a team like the Golden State Warriors.

They could even trade down or out of this draft altogether if they feel like they won’t get the impact talent they want and can wait until next year.

There is no real consensus about what the New Orleans Pelicans should do and this is true of most teams, which is why this draft is going to be the craziest one in memory.

If the Pelicans decide to just use the 13th pick in the NBA Draft, they could go a number of ways. They need depth at both forward positions, a center and possibly another point guard, so the Pelicans have enough needs to just take the best player available.

We looked at ten prominent sites before making this mock draft to find if there was any type of consensus about who the New Orleans Pelicans will pick.

Out of the ten sites, there were six different players predicted. One of them got two votes and one got four votes, which is about as close to a consensus as you can get in this particular draft.

So, 40 percent of the sites we researched chose this player for the New Orleans Pelicans in the 2020 NBA Draft.
