The NBA draft is finally here.
Tonight, 60 young men will be drafted into the NBA, manifesting their lifelong childhood dreams in reaching the league.
For the Pelicans, their night will begin with the No. 17 pick in the first round.
Last year, the Pelicans drafted Kira Lewis Jr out of Alabama with the No. 13 overall pick.

Check out below who the draft experts believe the Pelicans should select at No. 17.
