New Orleans Pelicans: Ranking the Last Ten 1st Round Draft Picks

Most teams get it wrong in the draft and the New Orleans Pelicans are no exception. A quick look back at the last ten years reveals some head-scratching picks, especially with the benefit of hindsight.

The Pelicans have obviously hit home runs with some high-profile picks, like when they took future Hall of Famer Chris Paul at number four. Considering Andrew Bogut and Marvin Williams went one and two, the New Orleans Pelicans look like geniuses by comparison.

Paul was the best player in the draft by far, which shows that you never know how things are going to turn out.
