New Orleans Pelicans: What can new signing James Nunnally add?

The New Orleans Pelicans have a new addition to their roster in the form of James Nunnally, a EuroLeague veteran and international basketball journeyman with minute NBA stints.

Nunnally is being signed to a two-way contract by New Orleans, who waived Australian big man Will Magnay in the process. Magnay played decently for the Erie BayHawks in the G League bubble but did not appear to feature in Stan Van Gundy’s plans. He had played just three minutes all season.

It’s interesting that the Pelicans chose Nunnally to fill that roster vacancy because, at first glance, there isn’t a whole lot of upside in this play.
