Who should become the first person to be drafted to the pelicans?

Get a SF in the Gordon deal and we're good. Who, I have no idea :hihi:

I'm a BPA guy, I don't draft for spots (like we did last year some would say).

Also I think we need to be drafting a guy that they believe can come in and contribute immediately in a starting role. This team is depleted of talent. No need to drafts guy that will be on the bench behind Gordon. IMO

well regardless how he does for some reason ucla doesnt maximize their talent but i think shabazz has the potential to be a great 2 way SG or SF

Everybody is so quick to throw Smart out of their top 3, but it was one bad game. Jeez remember Kevin Durant? Also we have Austin Rivers if everyone forgot. Just wait until combine and up close workouts with team before casting him away. Oregon is a good team.

After watching Shabazz in that in the PAC 12 championship game he is #1 on my board the dude can score in so many ways

Pelicans are going to need an elite scoring machine

Man that's what I been saying! lol I haven't got a good chance to watch a complete game yet though. It would be awesome to have a player were you could just throw it to him and actually creates his own buckets.

Pelicans avoid no Bo aka UNLV Anthony Bennett.

Cal icing their free throw shooter?

thats what i'm saying, and he is also the youngest off all the prospects outside of noel, in 3 years shabazz will be the best player to come out this draft in my opinion, also he might be quick enough to defend guards but he is definetly quick and easily strong enough to defend small forward, plus i think he will grow a little bit, perfect small forward for us.

Bazz is like Melo in all the ways he can score.

ya, he has a post up game, high basketball IQ and soft touch around the rim, not to mention a silky smooth jumper, reminds me of a carmelo anthony/paul pierce mix.
He also has that body girth and strength like they do and good body balance in the air for contested and contact layups and dunks.
Also has that killer instinct that Kobe has, he is #1 on my board.

glenn robinson just KILLED IT! shrinks in big games u say? No he just showed up at the right time! Told yall this kid is gonna be a beast, next paul george w that athleticism and jumper and rebounding and D

If GR3 keeps playing like this throughout the tournament he will move into the top 5, if he can score like that along with his athleticism, defense and rebounding, plus he is only 18, wow

Guru, you are the quintessential over reactor.

I sense a forthcoming change of the big board.....

Well i wouldn't call it over reacting ive just been watching this kid all year and saw all the tools and was waiting for him to put it together and i knew he would cuz he is so young and people constantly told me he was trash, i really think this kid is the next paul george in 3-4 years, just saying :)

Gr3 is pretty damn talented though... I could see him moving into the 10th or 9th spot. His problem is that he was playing too passively before. He has to have a monster tournament for a top ten pick though.

Well I think if he has a monster tournament while being that young it would move him up a little higher than 10, i'd say top 7-8 for sure. we shall see! sorry im just so excited for this offseason!
