Pelicans to sign Peter Jok to 2017 Summer League team, but his story is far more impressive

Following the conclusion of the 2017 NBA Draft, Dell Demps apologized to the media for his tardiness to begin the night’s conference. The front office had been busy trying to add several undrafted free agents to next month's summer league team after making a lone selection in Frank Jackson.

Well, we’re aware of the Pelicans securing one such UDFA and he may wind up being worth everyone’s wait: Peter Jok, a 4-year guard out of the University of Iowa. Incidentally, New Orleans has had him on their radar for some time; the Pelicans were the only team in the league to work him out one year ago.
