The NBA draft kicked off, and Stephen A-Smith, known as "American Yang Yi", also commented on this year's draft online and praised the Pelicans' pick at the 7th pick.

A-Smith said: "He is the second generation of Irving." This season, Fells played 34 games at the University of Oklahoma, averaging 30.2 minutes per game, scoring 17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.6 steals, shooting percentage of 43.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 28.4%, and free throw percentage of 85.1%. Previously, in an interview, he said that he was the best player among the rookies of this year.

Apart from that, A-Smith also praised the Wizards' No. 6 pick Trae Johnson, who said: "Remember, the Washington Wizards suffered not once, but two 16-game losing streaks last year. I'm pretty sure that with Trae Johnson, it will greatly help avoid that level of pain."
