Stroll into the Smoothie King Center home locker room these days and you may see a fairly unusual sight: New Orleans rookie wing Bryce Dejean-Jones sitting in front of his stall, writing slowly on a notepad with his left hand. The Iowa State product has been sidelined since Feb. 23 with a broken right wrist, ending his 2015-16 season just as it was showing considerable promise, and preventing him short-term from being able to do the simplest tasks with his shooting hand.
The good news is, after signing a multi-year contract with the Pelicans, Dejean-Jones is expected to be ready for July summer league and will be a player to watch in Las Vegas.
