Cat Barber: New Orleans Pelicans
Cat Barber’s name was not called this past Thursday night at the NBA Draft. He was, however; quickly signed by the New Orleans Pelicans to play for their summer league team. Personally, I think the Pelicans could give Barber a good chance to impress. Head Coach Alvin Gentry employs a fast paced brand of basketball that could be tailored made for Cat Barber.
The Pelicans are building their summer league team around Buddy Heild, their first round selection out of Oklahoma. Barber could pair well with Heild as the two would be quite the one two punch scoring the basketball. Last season Heild ranked 2nd in the NCAA in points per game scoring 25, and Cat Barber finished 6th scoring 23.5 per game.
