The New Orleans Pelicans have been rumored in connection to several recently waived players including Corey Brewer, Shabazz Muhammad and Sean Kilpatrick. For the time being, though, the team has settled on Walter Lemon Jr., as he’s going to remain with New Orleans via a second 10-day contract.
The 25-year-old developmental prospect was added from the G League in order to utilize his penchant for breaking down opponents off the dribble and scoring in waves. In three appearances, however, Lemon Jr. has combined to score four points on 2-6 shooting, one assist and one turnover.
