2019 NBA Mock Draft: Two-round post-Allen Crabbe trade
Zion Williamson. player. 69. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Forward. Duke. 1
Nothing changes here, the Pelicans hope that Zion Williamson will be the player to change the franchise and hopefully persuade Anthony Davis to stay in New Orleans. If the Pelicans do decide to move on from Davis or Jrue Holiday and fully commit to a rebuild, we could see them trying to jump back into the top-ten in this draft.
Ja Morant. 2. Murray State. player. 211. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Guard
Despite the rumors that the Grizzlies are not completely set on taking Ja Morant at second overall, there is no logical reason why he would not be the pick for Memphis. Like New Orleans, the Grizzlies are also a candidate to jump into the top-ten if they are able to bring in a nice haul for current floor general Mike Conley.
Duke. 3. 27. Scouting Report. Forward/Guard. R.J. Barrett. player. Pick Analysis
The Knicks remain in the opposite situation of Memphis and New Orleans, as the team could very likely package this pick as part of a trade to get Anthony Davis to the Big Apple. As stated before, this mock will assume that all teams will retain their current selections and the Knicks come away with an NBA-ready scorer.
