The New Orleans Pelicans could take a chance on a high school player in the NBA Draft.

The New Orleans Pelicans have four picks in the NBA Draft and could use one of them on a long-term project.

One such project is high school standout Kenyon Martin Jr., who skipped college completely to go straight into the NBA.

Martin Jr. is the son of former #1 pick Kenyon Martin, who had a solid 15-year career that included an All-Star appearance.
