It just makes sense.
The Hornets get a player on Scoot’s level, but a high flying forward instead in Zion. They also stay in the lottery.
The Pelicans go a different route and decide to draft a new franchise PG in Scoot Henderson. They also acquire a veteran forward who can shoot in Hayward to help them in the post season and the #27 pick to potentially add more shooting depth.
Pull the trigger!
