NBA Mock Draft 10.0: Magic settle in on Jabari Smith; Shaedon Sharpe falls
8. New Orleans Pelicans – Johnny Davis, G, Wisconsin
The New Orleans Pelicans are trending up for the first time in a long time. Zion Williamson is healthy, CJ McCollum seems like a great fit, and the team closed the season on a high note even though they technically didn’t qualify for the postseason.
The Pelicans will have a chance to be a dark horse playoff contender next season and could be a big problem in the Western Conference if it all comes together for the team. Adding another top 10 prospect can’t hurt.
Johnny Davis could be an option for the Pelicans late in the top 10. He has scoring prowess that could be beneficial in a bench role as he learns the ins and outs of the NBA game.
