pelicans fan here but I've watched the Pelicans draft a ton of guys on potential and the only one that gave somewhat of an immediate return was AD and he was still raw af coming out of Kentucky.
my fault, I forgot CP just that quick. but I would say CP was definitely pro ready coming out. Atlanta drafted Marvin Williams based on potential and while it took him a while to find his place, that set Atlanta back a couple seasons
Darius Miller was a 4 year senior when he got drafted and ended up having to go to Germany for a season or two to figure his shit out.
not all picks are drafted equally
