Johnny Davis as well. Him and GTA off the bench is a nightmare defensively

Dyson Daniels. NO Style= (Nearly) everybody can bring the ball up court and initiate the possession. Great fit with upside.

With Zion hopefully coming back healthy next year, the pelicans are looking to build on their success and take the next step into the western conference elite. Daniels would be an interesting selection and could very well be the pick. However, I think they go with a more proven player who can step in and contribute immediately. I’m going to go with Ochai agbaji.

If the draft plays out this way, I think the real answer for the Pels would be to trade down, none of the top prospects here really match the needs (floor spacing, rim protection) of the surprisingly balanced roster aside from Griffin, whose injury history would probably scare them away. I’ll go Johnny Davis, who mimics a lot of what McCollum provides with better defense and worse 3 point shooting.

  I feel like they wanna plug in guys that will fit around their core. Pelicans have arguably the best development track record when it comes to shooting. If they can get another Herb Jones but this time address the guard position I think they leave this draft happy and to me that guy is Daniels.

Since it is clear Branham isn’t the pick, I’ll change my pick to Johnny Davis if I can.
