Mock Drafts Predicting The Pelicans Will Go Big In the 2024 NBA Draft
- The 2024 NBA Draft is later this month and the New Orleans Pelicans officially have the No. 21 pick after deferring their pick swap with the Los Angeles Lakers until 2025. This year's draft isn't considered as strong, so it makes sense the Pels declined to swap picks with Los Angeles. New Orleans heads into the offseason with a major void to fill.
If New Orleans doesn't fill that need via trade, the Pelicans will surely look to draft a big man in this month's draft.

Edey was a two-time National College Player of the Year who led the Boilermakers to a National Championship game appearance last year.Yves Missi measured well as expected at nearly 6'11" in socks with a 7'2" wingspan.
Shoots an easy ball from 3. He hops into his shot and cleanly transitions into his high, unblockable release. His percentages need to catch up, but his touch is a positive indicator. He shoots a high percentage on hook shots, floaters, and layups. “His size, strength, physicality, and he scores the ball,” Clingan replied. “He’s a great player. He’s tall and strong. It’s hard to move him in the post. He rebounds the ball at both ends at a high level. It was really hard to play against him. I want to go up against the best at the highest stage, so being able to go against Zach was an honor.”
