Three picks lower than initially predicted. Yahoo Sports’ Kevin O’Connor reported that the team is “actively watching” to move up in the 2025 draft. Their target is Ace Bailey of the Rugets, who played one season with the Scarlet Knights.

Pelicans longing Rutgers Ace Bailey, according to Kevin O’Connor of Yahoo Sports. New Orleans owns its seventh overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Bailey is expected to be a top five selection. If the Pelicans are serious about adding Bailey to the roster, they have to trade up. O’Connor reported that New Orleans is “actively watching” to rise in this year’s draft.

In his latest mock draft, the Pelicans are trading with the 76ers to score a #3 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Many draft analysts have Cooper Flag and Dylan Harper as their first two selections. If New Orleans trades to the third pick, Ace Bailey will certainly be there for filming. To raise the four spots, Kevin O’Connor predicts that the Pelican will send Herb Jones to the Six in 2026 in Pacer’s top four protected first round.
