This tells me a couple things.
The Pelicans want more shooting on the team.
They also value versatile players who can be slotted into multiple positions.
They don’t like 1 dimensional guys. Guys like Slawson can do a little bit of everything IE. Defending, passing, shooting, post up, blocking shots, etc. with good length and athleticism.
Slawson is is probably going to be a second round pick due to his age. This could mean we’re going big in the first round and trading for a 2nd round pick to grab a guy like him.
Either way if we come out of the draft with a big and a rotational shooter, I think the fan base as a whole should be ecstatic.
