THE REWIND

Making up for recent drafts

The Pelicans, who haven’t had a first-round pick since taking Anthony Davis in 2012, changed that trend in June.

In drafting Buddy Hield in the first round and Chieck Diallo early in the second, New Orleans took two players who went in opposite directions in their college careers.

Hield, a 22-year-old senior who was the 2016 Naismith Player of the Year, went to Oklahoma under the radar but developed to become the best shooter in college basketball.

Hield, like most rookies, will find the transition challenging during his first year and will likely play a role coming off the bench this season.

Diallo, one of the most sought after recruits in the nation, struggled his first season at Kansas.

A consensus lottery pick before the season, the 19-year-old didn’t play much at Kansas.

Diallo has a strong upside and plays hard, and could reward New Orleans with lottery level talent if developed properly.

Versatility with question marks

In a league that has seen the style of play focus on interchangeable lineups, New Orleans made a concerted effort to build its roster with versatility.

With Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson no longer on the Pelicans, New Orleans took the money freed up once their cap holds were renounced and hit the free-agent market.

Though the plan was sound, the signings of Solomon Hill, E’Twaun Moore, Langston Galloway and Tim Frazier come with question marks and a steep price tag.

Although Hill is coming off a strong playoff series in April against Toronto, the 25-year-old did not have his fourth-year rookie option picked up by the Pacers. He has been inconsistent and has played sporadic minutes since being drafted in 2013.

Now with a $48 million contract, it will be interesting to see how Hill performs.
