Big Q & DC react to the news that the New Orleans Pelicans are showing interest in #2 NBA prospect PG Scoot Henderson.
The New Orleans Pelicans are reportedly interested in acquiring a top 2-3 pick in the NBA Draft, with their sights set on Scoot Henderson, per Shams Charania. Henderson, along with Victor Wembanyama and Brandon Miller, is expected to be selected within the top three picks of the draft. New Orleans clearly believes in his talent and it will be interesting to see if they can get a deal done.
“The Pelicans are expected to aggressively pursue a top pick, potentially two or three, in this upcoming NBA Draft with their eyes set on Scoot Henderson sources tell me,” Charania said.
Trading for a top three pick this season is going to be difficult for the Pelicans. The San Antonio Spurs obviously won’t be interested in trading the No. 1 overall pick, as they are expected to draft Victor Wembanyama. That leaves the Charlotte Hornets and Portland Trail Blazers with the No. 2 and No. 3 picks, which are likely to be Scoot Henderson and Brandon Miller.
