The New Orleans Pelicans had a difficult season to say the least. The injuries halted their progress as a team and the injuries could progress past this season to set the team back. However, the Pelicans did make one major decision that could actually become the focal point of this team’s resurrection going forward. They invested in youth.
After countless injuries to the starting squad, including starting shooting guard Eric Gordon, the New Orleans Pelicans decided to sign Bryce Dejean-Jones out of the D-League on January 20th. Dejean-Jones was a part of the Pelicans’ NBA Summer League team and had went from there to play on the NBA D-League’s Idaho Stampede.
