New Orleans Pelicans
3 top targets: Tyrese Maxey, Devin Vassell, Precious Achiuwa
There’s no question about it, the New Orleans Pelicans have one of the brightest futures of any team selecting in the 2020 NBA Draft Lottery. Thanks in large part to Zion Williamson, the Pelicans will likely be in playoff contention in the Western Conference for the foreseeable future. Adding another lottery pick from the 2020 class is all but unfair.
One interesting player that the Pelicans could target – in the event that they move on from Jrue Holiday – is Tyrese Maxey. He’s a talented offensive threat and is similar to Jrue in the way of being able to play both guard positions.
Precious Achiuwa is a talented defensive player and could emerge as a lottery pick. He’s a name to keep an eye on in the next couple of months. Devin Vassell is another potential selection; he has 3-and-D potential and could be a better pro than he was in college.
