New Orleans Pelicans: Ike Anigbogu is another bargain signing with upside

Before the New Orleans Pelicans held introductory press conferences for their high profile additions of Steven Adams and Eric Bledsoe, the team made one more under-the-radar move. That move, as ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported, was signing 22-year old big man Ike Anigbogu to an undisclosed contract.

Free agent C Ike Anigbogu has signed a deal with the New Orleans Pelicans, source tells ESPN. Anigbogu, 22, was an Indiana second-round pick in 2017.
