For the second straight season, the New Orleans Pelicans didn’t improve their lot in life on Tuesday night when the ping pong balls bounced around during the NBA Draft Lottery.
New Orleans was slotted in the 10th position entering the draft after finishing third in a tiebreaker with Chicago and Sacramento on May 25.
This will be the second time in franchise history that the Pelicans will be picking 10th overall. The last time they picked 10th was during the 2012 NBA Draft when they selected Austin Rivers.
