It seems like just yesterday the Pelicans’ packaged their two second round picks to move up and take a flyer on seldom used Kansas freshmen Cheick Diallo. The big man floated back and forth from the Pelicans’ roster to DNP’s to the D League, but ultimately showed promise in the glimpses fans received.
So, why not try it again?
In eerily similar fashion, the Pelicans traded their 40th overall pick plus cash considerations to trade up to 31st overall where they obtained similarly seldom used freshmen guard, Frank Jackson.
