2022 NBA Mock Draft: Pick #10

Pick Analysis. Forward. Jeremy Sochan. 10. Scouting Report. New Orleans Pelicans via Washington / Baylor. player. 69

The Pelicans already have an impressive young roster that made the playoffs last season even though Zion Williamson didn’t play a single game.

With his return, coupled with a full season of CJ McCollum, the Pelicans already have a “Big 3” that can score with any team in the NBA.

They will look to add defenders around them, and already have some good ones in Herbert Jones, Jose Alvarado and Larry Nance Jr.

Sochan would give them another long, athletic wing who can defend multiple spots and won’t need the ball in his hands to make an impact.

The Pelicans are in a good spot here, as they are already loaded with talent and just get to keep adding it.
