The New Orleans Pelicans have an impressive stable of young players, or at least based on what we’ve seen with the rebuilt roster. However, their young talent isn’t even on full display quite yet, as they’re waiting on the 35th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
Seeming like a crafty move on draft day by Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations David Griffin, the team added a high-ceiling prospect in Didi Louzada, a creative wing, and Brazilian national team member, to their core.
Due to his underdeveloped overall skillset and unlikely to receive any sort of immediate playing time, Louzada joined the NBL, a basketball league based out of Australia and New Zealand, as a part of their Next Stars program.
