Jumping from the D-League to the starting lineup of an NBA team, one could say that January was an exciting month for the New Orleans Pelicans new wing, Bryce Dejean-Jones. After signing with the Pelicans on January 21, Dejean-Jones was catapulted into the starting lineup on January 28 against the Sacramento Kings as the Pelicans’ depth at guard withered away.
While Bryce Dejean-Jones had played well in the D-League and performed decently in the summer league for the New Orleans Pelicans, expectations were low, and Pelican Debrief’s own Rick Stone, who watched Bryce for two seasons while attending the University of Nevada Las Vegas, quickly made it known that the writers should not expect too much from the volume scorer.
