Bryce Dejean-Jones has been a bright spot in a New Orleans Pelicans season sorely lacking them so far. BDJ has already logged 102 minutes and three emergency starts at shooting guard beside Norris Cole as Tyreke Evans continues to rest a balky right knee. Those 102 minutes are more than first round picks Sam Dekker (6), Delon Wright (36), Tyus Jones (98), Jarell Martin (9), or Kevon Looney (6) have played all season. All of these players but Wright are younger than Bryce Dejean-Jones, but all are also much better compensated as well.
