Anthony Davis was the Pelicans' first overall pick in 2012.

The New Orleans Pelicans are an American professional basketball team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. They play in the Southwest Division of the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The franchise was founded in the 1988–89 NBA season as the Charlotte Hornets, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, where they were located until the end of the 2001–02 NBA season. In the summer of 2002, the Hornets were relocated to New Orleans after NBA's relocation committee approved the move.[1] During the 2005–07 period, the Hornets played 71 games in Oklahoma City due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina.[2] The team officially changed its name to the New Orleans Pelicans on April 18, 2013.
