Pelicans would be wise to target Jared Sullinger before trade deadline

The first piece I ever wrote on this site, then called At the Hive, advocated selecting Jared Sullinger. Thankfully, that was in January and by the time the draft rolled around I was fully on board with selecting Anthony Davis.

Of course, the New Orleans Pelicans (then Hornets) also had the 10th pick in the draft. Sullinger was 10th on the Big Board here, well ahead of eventual selection Austin Rivers. Sullinger plummeted down the draft thanks to concerns about his back and was selected by the Boston Celtics with the 21st pick.
