The 2017–18 New Orleans Pelicans season will be the 16th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Draft

Round Pick Player Position Nationality College / Club
2 31 Frank Jackson PG  United States Duke

Before June 21, 2017 (the day before the NBA Draft began), the Pelicans entered the draft with only one second round pick, as they had traded their own first round pick away to the Sacramento Kings on the night after the 2017 NBA All-Star Game alongside rookie Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway, and the Philadelphia 76ers' original second round pick in a blockbuster move for star center DeMarcus Cousins and Omri Casspi. On June 21, however, the Pelicans acquired the Washington Wizards' second round pick at #52 in exchange for guard Tim Frazier. As a result, the Pelicans enter draft night with two second round picks after all at #40 and #52, yet with no first round pick.

On the night of the draft, the Pelicans traded away their 40th pick of the draft (which was Florida State University shooting guard Dwayne Bacon) and cash considerations to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for the Hornets' second round pick they acquired by trading for Dwight Howard, which became Duke University point guard Frank Jackson).
