New Orleans’ draft night spoils extends well beyond Zion Williamson.

Before the Pelicans landed the Duke superstar with the No. 1 overall pick, general manager David Griffin increased the size of the haul from his heist of the Lakers — obtained in the trade for disgruntled star Anthony Davis — acquiring the No. 8, 17 and 35 picks from the Hawks, in exchange for the No. 4 pick, which New Orleans received from the Lakers.

While the Hawks traded up to land Virginia’s De’Andre Hunter, the Pelicans opted for depth in a draft viewed as possessing just three marquee players. New Orleans used the eighth pick to take Jaxson Hayes, immediately giving the Pelicans one of the most athletic frontcourts in the league by pairing the Texas center with Williamson.

Like Williamson, the 19-year-old, 7-footer spent just one season in college, earning Big 12 Freshman of the Year honors, while averaging 10 points, on 72.8% shooting from the field, with 5.0 rebounds and 2.2 blocks, in 23.3 minutes.

“It’s gonna be really exciting,” Hayes said of playing with Williamson. “I know that.”

With the 17th pick, the Pelicans addressed their shooting needs and chose Virginia Tech’s Nickeil Alexander-Walker. In two seasons with the Hokies, the well-rounded 6-foot-5 Canadian guard shot better than 38% on 3-pointers, and averaged 16.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.9 steals this past season.

The pick was made by the Nets — Alexander-Walker wore their hat — but will belong to the Pelicans because of a previous trade between Atlanta and Brooklyn.

The Pelicans added another guard with their 35th pick, taking Marcos Louzada Silva, of Brazil. The 6-foot-5, 20-year-old is a talented shooter — hitting over 42 percent on 3-pointers in Brazil this past season — and even stronger defender.
