The New Orleans Pelicans utilized the No. 8 single out Texas’ Jaxson Hayes, an athletic 6-11 focus who ought to promptly venture into Davis’ void and be an effect edge defender in the NBA.

Phoenix Suns — Loser

Rather than utilizing their first-round draft pick in exchange to gain the win-now ability, the Celtics took 6-6 Indiana shooting monitor Romeo Langford. He’s a decent competitor and a wasteful scorer with space to create. He could end up being an excellent NBA player.
Duke ball — Winner
