The New Orleans Pelicans made an exciting addition to their roster

Hawkins, a national champion guard out of the University of Connecticut, adds a lot of ability to the Pelicans' backcourt. In this article, we examine an intriguing trade possibility that might improve the Pelicans' chances as they incorporate this bright young player. Prior to being selected by the Pelicans in the 2023 NBA Draught, the 6'5" Jordan Hawkins starred as a shooting guard for the UConn Huskies. 

The sophomore guard Hawkins made a big impression at UConn by displaying his shooting skills. Notably, he was essential to UConn's 2022–2023 season national title victory. Hawkins demonstrated his fast release and ability to shoot from outside the arc. He can provide them an advantage in terms of scoring from the perimeter and floor spacing. His ability to contribute to the Pelicans' offence has been further enhanced by similarities to Malik Beasley's playing style.
