The New Orleans Pelicans will likely be picking in the lottery in the NBA Draft again, but this time, they need a more focused effort.
When a team is rebuilding, they should draft for talent over need, which is what they claim to have done when then selected guys like Jaxson Hayes, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Kira Lewis Jr. who have all shown signs of their high-ceiling talent.
With Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and hopefully Lonzo Ball forming the foundation of the franchise the Pelicans have plenty of high-ceiling talent, so this draft, they need to look more for need and skill.
