6. New Orleans Pelicans

Original Pick: Buddy Hield

Redraft Pick: Dejounte Murray

For the most part, Dejounte Murray is pretty much overlooked in San Antonio but I’m a huge fan of his game and would actually love to see him play alongside DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis.

Murray is springy, has great vision and is an absolute bull on defense.

He is going to be a part of the Spurs plans going forward and could be a cornerstone of their franchise, assuming he continues to improve. Of course. Gregg Popovich finds an underachieving tweener in college and turns him into a starter in the NBA. Genius.
