Trent Giddings, first year with Pelicans “All of us had to be in the office just in case we won, but we didn’t really prepare ourselves mentally that it was a real possibility to actually get the No. 1 pick. We were just happy to be in the top four picks – that was crazy in itself when that happened. But as it got closer, I said to myself, ‘I’m getting on this table if we win. I’m going to go nuts!’ It was such a surreal moment and refreshing news, especially after we had gone through such a long season. It’s been funny to have people who know I work here, but don’t really follow the Pelicans much, look for me in the video. They were like, ‘Woah, Trent’s in it!’ And a lot of my clients loved it, to see how genuinely pumped I was.”
