The New Orleans Pelicans could be preparing for a huge move to go up in the draft to select explosive point guard Scoot Henderson.
The 19-year-old shone in the NBA G-League this season with much debate whether he or Alabama 's Brandon Miller will go second in the draft, behind French wonderkid Victor Wembanyama. It's a pick currently occupied by the Charlotte Hornets, with many expecting them to take Miller while already having their long-term answer at point guard in LaMelo Ball on the roster.
And should Henderson fall to the third pick, the Pelicans might make the move up from 14 to secure their leader of the future. NBA insider Shams Charania stated that the Pels are expected to 'aggressively pursue Henderson in the draft - which could see them give up a number of assets to do.
