Draft Board

The Pelicans finished a disappointing season this past year.  They were injury plagued and most of their key players missed some time.  They have a roster that, when healthy, is a playoff contender, but they still need to add some more pieces for the future.  With lots of unrestricted free agents (UFA), they will have various positions of need to address in the draft.  Anthony Davis is as good of a building block you'll find in the league, and with the 6th pick they'll look to add another young player to grow with Davis.
