13. New Orleans Pelicans – Saddiq Bey, F
Lucking out in the Zion Williamson sweepstakes, the New Orleans Pelicans are now attempting to piece together their numerous young stars and make the leap as a playoff contender.
Williamson had a strong rookie season and likely could have won the Rookie of the Year Award had he played more than 24 games. He has a strong running mate in Brandon Ingram but will need more help in other areas.
Saddiq Bey can help spread the floor to open up paths for Williamson to attack. He ranked in the 98th percentile for catch-and-shoot opportunities last season and will be an instant court spacer for the Pels.
Physically, Bey is a solid prospect who can play multiple positions. This will help the Pelicans as they experiment with different lineups throughout the season.
