With Nick Smith Jr. reportedly out indefinitely due to a knee injury, his season may very well be over at Arkansas making it a perfect time for our own Nathan Grubel to evaluate his spot in the draft.
I wonder with his inability to play the rest of the year, his draft stock will fall allowing a team like the Pelicans draft a player who would fit nicely into the roster they already have.
I think Smith would be a great fit for New Orleans! And I could see him being available late lottery so if the Lakers pick would fall in that range then the Pelicans could have a chance at drafting him.
