The New Orleans Pelicans are reportedly interested in Scoot Henderson. The franchise could go up to the draft and recover the choice of the Blazers or the Hornets.
If the first choice of the Draft 2023 is almost recorded, the second and third choice are not. In recent weeks, Brandon Miller’s rating has increased, to the point where Scoot Henderson could fall to third place in the next Draft.
The Portland Trail Blazers and Charlotte Hornets, holders of picks 2 and 3, already have an All-Star at point guard. What open the door to a transfer to let other teams select it and recover good parts in exchange.
According Shams Charaniaa team seems more interested than the others: the New Orleans Pelicans. The Louisiana franchise currently has the 14th pick of the 2023 Draft. With their former transfers, they also have other future choices, which could serve them in the event of a rise to this Draft.
New Orleans could therefore take a new path. Their payroll will increase significantly in the coming years and they already have big contracts like those of Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram or CJ McCollum.
Replacing one of his cumbersome contracts with a rookie and a lighter contract would be an option considered and make their future easier. The Hornets and the Blazers are two franchises that want to strengthen this summer and a player from the Pelicans could interest them more than Brandon Miller or Scoot Henderson.
