I was way too optimistic about the Pelicans. Bledsoe and Redick being worthless altered our trajectory this year. Knicks better than I thought. Other than the Pels  I don’t feel too bad about any of these picks though

Yeah Bledsoe really killed them. I'm not sure why SVG didn't pivot to NAW, he was considerably better in basically every aspect of basketball. Pelicans are still progressing at a good pace, bright future ahead. Hayes and NAW steps this season were huge.
