The Pelicans are looking to add ready-to-play depth to their team after being decimated by injuries and trading away both Dyson Daniels and CJ McCollum in the past year, so New Orleans' draft picks could be crucial in the 2025-26 season.

With the 40th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the Pelicans selected Georgetown wing Micah Peavy. The 6’7, 200-pound guard played five years of college basketball. He started his career at Texas Tech before transferring to TCU and Georgetown, where he was one of the Hoyas’ top players.

Peavy won a 6A state title his junior year and later spent time with three different programs throughout his five-year college career.
