Yesterday, the New Orleans Pelicans signed Jordan Hamilton to a 10-day contract via the hardship exemption, thereby allowing the team to expand their roster to 17 players. Considering the wide array of injuries, it's worth taking a closer look at him since he'll likely enjoy meaningful minutes during this final stretch of the season.
Two offseason's ago, we took a look at Hamilton as a potential candidate to help fill the rather large vacancy at small forward. Admittedly, his numbers were nothing to write home about, based on 1019 minutes split between stops with the Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets; however, he would have likely made for a stronger candidate than either Darius Miller, a SF who failed to impress anybody and was waived approximately one month into the 2014-15 season, or John Salmons, a player well past his prime who was thankfully traded away for Norris Cole in midseason.
