Perhaps it’s no coincidence that among the three veteran players New Orleans has signed in free agency this summer, they’ve each won an NBA or NCAA championship. On Thursday, the Pelicans officially added Ian Clark to a group that already included Rajon Rondo (2008 Boston Celtics) and Darius Miller (2012 Kentucky Wildcats, a team that also featured Anthony Davis).
Clark, 26, was a rotation player for title-winning Golden State in 2016-17, averaging 14.8 minutes per game and appearing in 93 of the Warriors’ 99 total games (regular season plus playoffs). In addition to the ring he won last season while backing up the “Splash Brothers,” the combo guard brings a track record of potent perimeter shooting.
