It's been a long time since the New Orleans Pelicans had a lottery draft pick. Sure, they've been in the lottery, but those picks were ultimately traded or already owed elsewhere. Understandably we might be a little out of practice. Three years ago we did a community draft board and it's time to bring it back.
This is a "big board" and not a mock draft. Yesterday Tyler Ulis held onto a small margin of victory over Demetrius Jackson. Today we are on #20 to finish up our board.

- Voting Today!
Vote for who you would like the Pelicans to select considering all of the remaining players available. Do not try to hop into the mind of Dell Demps and select who he would pick at the time, we're looking for your opinion alone. Act as if you are the General Manager of the Pelicans (without Mickey Loomis and Tom Benson doing whatever it is they do over Dell's shoulder) and select the player you think fits best with Anthony Davis for the Pelicans. Also, keep in mind the perceived value of a prospect around the league. Could the Pelicans draft a certain prospect that doesn't "fit" and trade them for a lesser valued prospect who does?
This poll will run for until 9 AM on Sunday morning. A completed big board will post later next week before the Draft.
