Pelicans had a good draft talent wise, but the Pacers trade and now this one, gives them an F. Next year has more game changers at the top like Karim Lopez and they are going to just hand them to the Hawks. Stupid ****.

Watch Fleming end up in OKC or nique Clifford. Would be an a+ draft for them with either if they can get one of those guys.

This is your worst take ever lol. The Egor pick is horrific


I don't usually miss with NBA draft picks. I am willing to wait and see who's right.

Jalen Williams, Caruso and Dort aren't good enough to cover the SF position?

Maybe they draft a SF at #24?


They're too small to go up against the SFs in the league. You saw how they looked against Pascal and Toppin. Small. They're strong everywhere so a small hole in the lineup isn't a problem. It would be ideal to get that 6'6-8" athletic SF who plays defense. Put him on bench, bring him out when you need the matchup, let him develop. That'll make them the most complete team in the league.


They won the championship so whatever they did worked.

But like I said maybe they pick a player like you're talking about at 24?


Oh yeah I mean they did fine but it was still an area of weakness that you can see which Pacers didn't exploit as much. Yeah they still can make a pick there. Or trade for one from another team. It's really a situational defensive need for them so the guy doesn't have to be a top prospect. There's some under the radar guy they can find in draft or on another team.

Or maybe someone like Dieng develops? Although I say that and he's been in the league for three seasons.

Does anyone else think it's odd that round 2 doesn't start until tomorrow?

Riley sounds like a guy OKC could've used for their roster IMO.
