Pelicans Select Kira Lewis Jr. 13th Overall
4 years agoThe New Orleans Pelicans drafted point guard Kira Lewis Jr. with the 13th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Lewis, who turned 19 years old this past April, spent two years at Alabama before declaring for the draft. He averaged 18.5 points per game, 5.2 assists per game and 1.8 steals per game last season. The Pelicans are in the midst of trading star guard Jrue Holiday to the Milwaukee Bucks, which should open up a decent amount of playing time for Lewis. Lonzo Ball, J.J. Redick and Eric Bledsoe will likely be the team's primary guards, but Lewis could be next in line after that.
