Pelicans get Jackson from Charlotte in draft deal

METAIRIE, La. (AP) The New Orleans Pelicans traded up to the top of the second round in an attempt to bring in potential back-court help for a lineup featuring the All-Star tandem of power forward Anthony Davis and center DeMarcus Cousins.

The Pelicans acquired Frank Jackson from the Charlotte Hornets, who had taken the former Duke combo guard 31st overall on Thursday night.

"We thought if we waited until the 40th pick he might not be there," Pelicans general manager Dell Demps said.
