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

[iNolaNightmare]

Kind of like I had a feeling to where I knew we were gonna get AD, I have a feeling I know we're gonna get Oladipo.

[Silverfoxx]

He is just 18 and will get better, some people just have great athleticism like him and others and relied on it thru high school but will get better. Oladipo was terrible as a freshmen, now he has worked on his shot and look at him, GR3 will be very good in the pro's in my opinion, has a very andre iggy feel to his game, natural slasher and defender

Kind of like I had a feeling to where I knew we were gonna get AD, I have a feeling I know we're gonna get Oladipo.

I may be a minority but Oladipo is someone I DO NOT WANT.

He really comes of as another MKG or Aminu, which we really don't need.
We need scoring! SCooooooring!

[wuggie]

For some reason I had a feeling also. I think we gonna get Shabazz now though, maybe porter. Maybe we should try some casinos out, we might get lucky lol

[iNolaNightmare]

Shabazz has jumped up to #2 on my board. Reminds me A LOT of Harden.

[AD23nEG10]

Then McLemore or Noel drop to us...

not necessarily. as of right now most boards are looking like mclemore, smart, noel, porter, bazz. we aren't projected in the top 5.

[AD23forMVP]

I'll take Bazz with a big ole smile on my face.

[Pantazis76]

Ill take Ben Mclemore anyday.. the dude can frekkin light it up from 3.. and is so so athletic! crazy dunks.. i reckon his a lot better then shabazz.

[HornetGuru]

starting to think smart, porter & bazz will all be gone before our pick...

lol im fine w mclemore

[HornetGuru]

We will finish bottom 4 w our schedule

Huh? The kid scores a TON. And is hitting 3s at 50% this year

For the year he is averaging 13 points a game. Watching the Michigan game he really reminds me of Aminu. Personally I think there are better options out there for us to take with our draft.

[AD23nEG10]

there are still 6-7 winnable games on our schedule. teams like the bobcats, sixers, suns, etc. aren't winning at all. and kyrie is shut down for the year now so throw the cavs in there. I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up 8th or 9th worst

He does remind me of Aminu and like Aminu I see a ton of potential and versatilty that is ready to be conjured and tapped but one thing I don't see in Oladipo is Chief's "uggh" demeanor lol. Oladipo has a STRONG will, and fearlessness about him that if Chief had we wouldn't even be questioning the Sf spot. That dude does whatever it takes, anyway he can, to get it done. That's part of what people are talking about when they compare to Jordan.

[smcgull]

The more I hear about how well Alex Len can play with AD, the more I like what I hear. I know nothing about drafting a player, but if he is as good a big man that I hear, the more I like.

[smcgull]

The last couple of minutes I have checked more mock drafts, and they have said good things about Otto Porter. I would like it if they got him also.

I agree. The end of the Michigan game Zeller and him basically carried Indiana. I can't come wills because to be honest they both look like they hustle their butts off. I guess my biggest concern is I'm not sold on him being a big time scorer. I just don't see him as a big upgrade over Aminu. But maybe I'm blinded by how similar their game is. Personally I'd rather take Porter for his scoring threat and I also like his size better. But I make no claims to be an expert when it comes to basketball.

Oladipo isn't a SF. He's a SG.

[Eman5805]

Huh. Erick Greene just showed up on my awareness. Seems to be worth attention. A shame we don't have a 2nd rounder.

[AD23nEG10]

if we fall between 7-9, i wouldn't hesitate to trade our pick & GV to get into the top 5

[HornetGuru]

we are in 6th but outside of 3 by 1 game, j smith and rivers are out for the year, gordon plays every other game, im pretty confident we find up with a top 5 pick, dont worry.

We only two more back to backs. I agree we should end up 4-7, but just wanted to point out Gordon is only going to miss 2 more games unless the FO goes full tank mode.

[Purple Haze]

As long as we end up 5 or lower I'll be happy. We'll end up getting a solid player there. Mclemore/Smart/Porter probably gone, but good chance we snag Oladipo or Bazz. Someone's gonna take Bennett early, same with Noel.

So really we could see a big bag of choices at 5 or 6.

This
I watched alot of his games and he doesnt score like people think
Its mostly clean up points. I really dont think his play would be as diffrent from Aminu.

Ill take a scoring undersized sf, then a "potential scorer". Im tired of gambling. Lets get a freaking scorer!

[Bigeauz]

Chad Ford mentioned on Twitter yesterday that Glen Rice Jr. will be declaring for the draft. He's been lighting up the D-League apparently. Getting called a sleeper. I don't know much about him though.
