Takeaways
- The Pelicans played one of the top teams in the league and only lost by six points so it was great to see the fight come out in them.
- New Orleans had three players in double figures at halftime.
- The difference in this game was the three-point shots that were made by Boston in the last five minutes of the game.
- This matchup in TD Gardens was great experience for the Pelicans, especially to play them so closely with a sold-out crowd.

The New Orleans Pelicans will pick seventh in this year's NBA Draft. While that isn't the spot the Pelicans had hoped for (or perhaps planned for), there is still a lot to be excited about due to the exorbitant amount of talent this draft consists of. We all know about the big three of Cooper Flagg, Ace Bailey, and Dylan Harper Jr., but beyond these prospects, the draft is brimming with talent, providing a strong sense of reassurance and confidence to every Pelicans fan. Here are the top four prospects that the Pelicans should target with the seventh overall pick, pending their availability.
