It was reported on Wednesday that free agent wing Bryce McGowens has agreed on a two-way NBA deal with the New Orleans Pelicans. The former 40th overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft now joins his 3rd NBA team and rounds out a balanced group of two-way players for the Pelicans. McGowens joins both Hunter Dickinson and Trey Alexander.
The Pelicans had a significant need for a wing, and it appears that Joe Dumars has filled that need by adding McGowens. Many fans wanted to see New Orleans use their final standard NBA roster spot on a wing, as outside of Trey Murphy and Herb Jones, the only other wing is Saddiq Bey.
