Since the start of training camp in late September, the Pelicans have looked at a number of different players to fill the end of their roster. Specifically, Dell Demps has awarded 9 unguaranteed contracts to the following players: Chris Douglas-Roberts, Bryce Dejean-Jones, Sean Kilpatrick, Corey Webster, Jeff Adrien, Jerome Jordan, Mirza Begic, Nate Robinson and Bo McCalebb.
At the outset of the exhibition season, the Pelicans roster appeared to have a need for a perimeter-orientated off guard and a small ball big who wouldn't compromise the team's rebounding.
