Decked out in a silver New Orleans hat and a unique white T-shirt that incorporates his Pelicans summer league uniform No. 6, He Tianju looked relatively comfortable Tuesday while meeting with local reporters for the first time.

All while relying on his translator, Michael Chang, to relay what his English-speaking coaches are trying to convey on the court.
