Reggie Williams got some action when he was first signed on December 10th. He found at least six minutes of playing time in five of the next six Pelicans contests. New Orleans needed a small forward that could shoot and play some defense, with Tyreke Evans and Dante Cunningham dealing with injuries at the time.
