EJ LIDDELL IS A NEW ORLEANS PELICAN
— Mark Schindler (@MG_Schindler) June 24, 2022
THIS IS A LEGIT STEAL
THIS IS AWESOME. PELICANS TEAM OF DESTINY
EJ Liddell to the Pelicans is an awesome value pick. Could play legit minutes right away. Brings value defensively as he’s a great help-side defender, can slide his feet on the perimeter, solid post scorer, and can be a capable spot-up shooter. Nice depth for the Pelicans.

Pelicans last 5 draft selections have been bonkers defensively. And extremely versatile.
Pelicans select Ohio State's E.J. Liddell at No. 41. He was ranked No. 21 overall on @DraftExpress final rankings for ESPN. He averaged 19.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.5 blocks last season for the Buckeyes.

In his three years with Ohio State, his 3P% and FT% improved each year.

Low key more excited about this pick than Daniels. Part of it is the value. Other part is just like him as a player.
SL should be fun to watch again. Assuming they dont move him.

Can you imagine Jax playing defense anything like thisOriginally Posted by Pelicanidae
Not strong enough.
I don't know much about EJ but I've read that he has a very high BBall IQ... you can never have enough of those guys on your team. Excellent pick.
Good we are not trading it

He was an excellent college player.
Freshman season: 19.2% from 3, 0.8 attempts per game. 71.8%FT, 2.7 attempts per game.
Sophomore: 33.8% from 3, 2.8 attempts per game. 74.6%FT, 5.4 attempts per game.
Final season: 37.4% from 3, 3.8 attempts per game. 76.5%FT, 6.9 attempts per game.
College career 52.8% FTr, which is good; 57.7%TS over the three years too, also good.
Not to mention no desire to
Sure but even if he had the desire and the discipline, Paolo is 6'10 250 and he'd push Jax around. EJ is only 6'7 but he's also basically 250 so it works out.
I don't want to say he's like PJ Tucker because that's like the lazy person's description of a smaller guy who is strong and a bit heavier who can guard in the post even despite not having a huge vertical, but he's a bit like PJ Tucker in that way
This list was not about the best movies but my favorite movies. ����**♂️ I ranked them on which ones I enjoyed the most.

I am seeing no theories on why he dropped so hard? Every mock had him early to mid twenties... Are other GM's really still dumb and not looking for those 4-year high-IQ defensive already-developed Battier types?

Warning: volume
Decent list, but definitely swap Ant-Man and Iron Man. Then it's super solid
Every year people drop well beyond where they should. Desmond Bane was a lottery pick his draft, imo, and he went mid 20s. Xavier Tillman was in the 14-20 range his draft, in my view, and he went second round. It always happens.
Often, as you say, to older players.
I just watched this no less than 15 times. Happy for this kid hard work pays off.
You can watch highlights, I prefer to watch the film study with Schmitz. Such a mature kid
Film Study
@mcnamara247
Herb Jones times 2
He's gonna be amazing
Well lucky us then!
I kind of detest highlight reels, as you only get the good stuff, obviously
I love unedited reels
Just embedding it for people who don't want to click through.
The Schmitz stuff is great - its a shame he won't be doing it anymore.
