2023 NBA Mock Draft

Michigan. 14. 69. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Guard/Forward. Jett Howard. player

light. Related Story. Would the Pistons take a huge risk on a draft-day trade?

The Pelicans love these types of versatile wing/guards and adding Howard would give them the opportunity to surround Zion and Brandon Ingram with big players who can stroke the 3-point shot.

Howard would be a great fit for the Pelicans and could even fill in for Zion when he inevitably gets hurt this offseason or shortly after next season begins (Sorry NOLA).
