Brandon Scoop B Robinson: New Orleans Pelicans have scheduled a draft workout with Purdue center Zach Edey. The Pelicans have the No. 21 overall pick in next month’s NBA Draft. With multiple reports indicating that Jonas Valanciunas may not return to NOLA because of perceived fit alongside their star player, Zion Williamson, Pels could look to draft the 7’4 300 pound Edey if available. -via Twitter / May 30, 2024
