2016 NBA Free Agency: Brandon Ashley is a young option for the Pelicans

The New Orleans Pelicans have three draft picks on June 23rd. Hopefully they land one or two impact players, giving the franchise a couple young player on bargain contracts. To get another possible development chip they could scan the market for undervalued free agents, a specialty of Dell Demps, by diving back into Europe. One target high on my list, former Arizona Wildcat Brandon Ashley.

Ashley was a five star prospect coming out of high school and ranked 17th in the relatively lightly regarded 2012 recruiting class. That recruiting class has a number of names in this year's draft class; Kris Dunn (20th), Brice Johnson (40th), and Denzel Valentine (96th), and Buddy Hield (111th) among them.
