Maybe he wants to stock our G league team with talent!

The draft doesn't start for 40 minutes and 32 of the 60 picks have already been traded.

God, I hope so. Not even a huge Coby fan, but I'd take it if it meant us taking the flier on Bol.

I believe in him.

Here at the Pels draft party. Met Joel, Jah, and Cam Jordan. All great guys.

Coby measured at 6-5 I believe so Zion is definitely looking taller than originally thought. Good deal

The risk is real, but the reward is too.

If everything goes wrong, he could play 30 games total in his NBA career.

If everything goes right, he'll be the leagues best shooting big man, with a release basically 10 feet in the air. Unstoppable.

Why does Bol Bol remind me of JP in grandma’s boy? :hihi:
We must draft this guy

Incredible shooting range for a big? Check

Unstoppable release? Check

Great touch? Check

Kind of underwhelming rebounder for height? Check

Poor perimeter defense but actually pretty good around the rim? Check

Bol Bol confirmed for next Dirk.

JP was the Neo dressed guy right? The guy with robot ears?

Lol I haven't seen that movie in a long time.

I wonder if that guy ever got those sweet rims for his car bed.

Pelican fans who were only around for the Demps era be like:

"Wait.....what's a draft?"

Haha. I know all of this stuff from being an NFL fan but it had been forever since I cared about the NBA draft.

I joined the Pels fanbase literally the year AD did. This is the first time I've ever actually cared seriously about a draft.

I have been a fan since the move to NOLA.....but I don't even have memories of watching a draft. I feel like I should have watched one......but maybe I never have.

I watched the draft where we got Buddy, and I was happy about it, but since I had no experience with a draft really before that, I didn't do any prep or scouting or anything specific.

I've been on this one for months now :hihi:

Dang. You're right. I did watch the Buddy Draft. And yeah. It wasn't anything like this. This is unreal.

To be fair, I now have six children and don't really make memories anymore. My brain is stuck in the present.

As someone who grew up as one of six siblings, I'm sorry.

Haha. I was the 3rd of six. So I get it. Lol

I always forget Bol Bol is the son of Manute. I love Manute. He inspired my FT stroke.

If we get Culver at 8 I’m going to personally fly to NO and give big G a big kiss, take him out to dinner, do his laundry, clean his carpets, and clean out his gutters for him!!!!

Crazy how whoever gets drafted at #4 is going to get a Lakers cap and then go to ATL via NOLA :hihi:

WoW this trade is so awesome!! The same guy we will be taking at #4 is likely the same player or talent we will get at 8. So we move back 4 spots and pick up 3 1st and a 2nd!? We are killing this offseason!! We now have the assets and $ relief to go get someone like Bradley Beal while filling out need at Center as well. We are so loaded with so many options it’s crazy!! What a great time to be a Pelicans fan!!

Haha. This is all passive aggressive propaganda that AD was not the chosen one.

Let the Zion Era begin!!!
