Pre-Draft Outlook
The Pelicans are approaching a crossroads with Zion Williamson, but regardless, the Pelicans need help offensively (scoring) and defensively (rebounding, rim protection). The team also has a new voice on the bench in former Magic coach Jamhal Mosley, who fills in after Willie Green was fired and James Borrego served as interim coach.
The Way To Go
At No. 58, Tennessee center Felix Okpara, South Florida center Izaiyah Nelson or Virginia center Ugonna Onyenso could provide interior depth.
