Through all the madness that this offseason has been for the New Orleans Pelicans, one move continues to fly way under the radar. New Orleans brought in a new front office leader in Joe Dumars, traded for Jordan Poole, drafted Jeremiah Fears, Derik Queen, and Micah Peavy and then also signed Kevon Looney. However, the addition of Saddiq Bey as part of the Poole deal is one of the most underrated pickups of this offseason.
Bey is a 26-year-old wing who last played in the 2023-24 season, where he suffered a season-ending ACL tear that forced him to sit out all of last year with the Wizards.
