The New Orleans Pelicans do not have a rich NBA Draft history since they have only been a team since 2003.
In that time, two things have been certain in the NBA: The first is that some team always finds a steal in the second round of the NBA Draft and the second is that the New Orleans Pelicans weren’t that team.
While the Pelicans have had some huge draft successes in the first round, most notably Chris Paul, Anthony Davis and Zion Williamson, they have been absolutely terrible at drafting in the second.
