NBA: Draft 2019 - Pelicans are the kings of hunting.
Not only Zion Williamson, the hottest man in draft since the time of LeBron James, went to New Orleans. Pelicans after exchanges, also had numbers 8, 17 and 35.
Of course, Zion Williamson went to Pelicans with no. 1. It has long been known that Zion is the biggest star of this year's draft and there is no other option than choosing it with the first number through New Orleans.
But Pelicans have done a lot more. Yesterday they traded the 4th pick they received from the Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis - to Atlanta. The Hawks also received the last year of Solomon Hill contract ($ 13.2 million) and number 57. The Hawks handed over the 8th, 17th and 35th selections, as well as being protected in the top-10 pick Cavs in the first round of draft 2020.
Ja Morant went with the no. 2 to Grizzlies, who, after replacing Mike Conley, may immediately jump into the role of the primary point-guard Memphis. Knicks chose the shooter R.J. Barrett, which in New York will certainly get many minutes already in the first season.
Minnesota Timberwolves jumped into the six, just before the draft, in exchange for Phoenix Suns Dario Saric and their 11th issue.
As for the Europeans, the Frenchman Sekou Doumbouy was chosen the most, who was selected with the 15th number by the Detroit Pistons. One of the biggest young stars of European basketball, Georgian Goga Bitadze went to Indiana Pacers from 18, so a little later than expected.
Bol Bol, the son of the legendary Manute Bol, is a little loser of the draft. Playing in the previous season at the Central Oregon College went to Denver Nuggets (pick from Hornets, through Hawks and through Heat) with only 44th issue.
