13. New Orleans Pelicans, Kira Lewis Jr.
Grade: B
Young, fun, fast, and exciting. Kira Lewis Jr. should fit right in with New Orleans and add to the logjam of ball-handlers on the Pelicans’ roster. It’s a good problem to have, so good form by the Crescent City.
I can’t say too much else unless we see how it goes but the Pels did the best with what they could at pick 13. Ever since Donovan Mitchell got picked in this range, and now Tyler Herro is looking like a steal here too, it’s always interesting to see who’s going to win the late lottery roll of the dice.
Depending on how he develops over the first few years of his career, there’s a good chance that the Pelicans don’t end up regretting this pick.
