2019 NBA Mock Draft: Two-round post-lottery mock
Scouting Report. Forward. Pick Analysis. Duke University. Zion Williamson. 1. player. 69
The Pelicans come away with a major victory by winning the lottery. This team needed a jolt, as the Anthony Davis drama has been the largest storyline of a team that made it to the second round of the playoffs just a season ago.
The biggest question with this pick is not who the selection will be, but if Zion Williamson’s presence will play a role in Davis’ decision to remain in or leave New Orleans.
Ja Morant. player. 211. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Guard. Murray State University. 2
Another riser in the draft, the Grizzlies are able to draft the eventual replacement to Mike Conley in Ja Morant. Morant’s passing abilities will aid in the development of Jaren Jackson Jr. in a major way. With Morant taking his talents to Memphis, the team may look to shop long time star point guard Mike Conley to expedite the rebuild.
