Kris Dunn. 6. player. 69. <p>The Pelicans are in need of just about everything. There is so much uncertainty across this roster outside of their franchise cornerstone, Anthony Davis. Their depth has taken blow after blow throughout the season as guys went down with injuries. Getting a new, fresh talent in there is going to boost not only the short term but also their long term outlook as well.</p> <p>Many Pelicans fans probably believe that Jrue Holiday is the answer at point guard, but given that he doesn’t have a clean bill of health himself, it is hard to count on him being there for all 82 games. Dunn also has the potential to be better than Holiday. The 6-4 point guard is intimidating due to his height and 6-9 wingspan. His ability to lock down both guard positions on defense would help New Orleans tremendously. Offensively, he is one of the smartest players in the draft. His control in the half court, especially in the pick and roll, is equal to that of some of the best point guards in the NBA. His size and vision are an unstoppable combo at the college level.</p> <p><iframe loading=. PG. Providence
