Considered a top-three prospect in the NBA draft, Scoot Henderson appears likely to land with either the Charlotte Hornets or Portland Trail Blazers on June 22.
However, another team may have entered the Henderson sweepstakes.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the New Orleans Pelicans are reportedly interested in trading up and acquiring either the second pick from the Hornets or the third pick from the Trail Blazers in order to draft Henderson.
The Pelicans are expected to aggressively pursue a top pick, potentially 2 or 3, in this upcoming NBA draft with their eyes set on Scoot Henderson.
