Wednesday's Pelicans Links: Pick stays at No. 6

Pelicans to pick sixth in NBA draft: The New Orleans Pelicans didn’t make a leap at Tuesday’s NBA draft lottery. They didn’t take a tumble either. New Orleans, which had the sixth-worst record in the NBA, will select sixth in the June 23 draft. None of the bottom 11 teams made a jump on Tuesday. The 76ers, Lakers and Celtics will hold the top three picks. -- The Advocate

New Orleans Pelicans will pick 6th in NBA Draft: After sputtering through a disastrous 30-52 season, New Orleans Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry was hoping for some much needed good fortune during Tuesday night's NBA Draft lottery in New York. Instead of winning the lottery, though, the Pelicans were awarded the sixth pick in the June 23 NBA Draft. New Orleans came into the lottery with the sixth-best odds at 6.3 percent for the top pick. -- The Times-Picayune
