Two days ago, the New Orleans Pelicans signed Garlon Green and Kenrich Williams each to a partially guaranteed contract. Yesterday, Troy Williams inked a similar deal. While the odds are stacked against these players of making the 15-man roster out of the gates next season, don’t completely dismiss the idea of at least one of these prospects sticking around in some capacity and eventually landing that golden ticket down the road.
Think Bryce DeJean Jones from several years ago.
Prior to his tragic loss of life, Jones latched on with the Pelicans in the 2015 Summer League after he failed to hear his name announced in the NBA Draft not a month earlier.
