Disclaimer: From here on out, I will be referring to New Orleans’ then monicker, Hornets, as the Pelicans. New Orleans was nice enough to forfeit the Hornets to allow their original owners, Charlotte, to reclaim it, but the Utah Jazz has remained adamant they wish to keep their name, despite its New Orleans roots—for shame. Back on track, the 2003 NBA Draft found homes for names such as LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Carmelo Anthony, and, wait for it, hold for applause… Darko Milicic! Let’s see which names the New Orleans Pelicans selected.
