2015-16 Player Reviews: Toney Douglas tries to hang on in the NBA

Toney Douglas wasn't supposed to start 18 games or log over 1,200 minutes for the New Orleans Pelicans. He wasn't even on the team when training camp started. Douglas started his 2015-16 season with the Indiana Pacers but was waived so the Pacers could keep Shayne Whittington, Rakeem Christmas, and Joseph Young on the payroll and in their development plans. (Whittington and Christmas spent extensive time with the Pacers D-League team, the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. Pelicans please take note.) After two terrible games by Nate Robinson the Pelicans waived Robinson and signed Douglas as an emergency point guard.
