#21: New Orleans Pelicans select Kel’el Ware

Ware is one of the big mysteries of the draft, as his shot blocking and shooting could get him drafted much higher.

I have seen him mocked in the top-10, so he has that kind of upside. If Ware’s 3-ball translates to the next level, he’d be the perfect center to put with Zion Williamson, who needs to play with a big who can spread the floor and block shots.

New Orleans would be ecstatic if Ware fell into their laps.
