New Orleans Pelicans Summer League Roster Players
The Pelicans are not the most loaded of rosters in the Vegas summer league. They have their 14th overall pick from the 2023 draft as the headliner. Jordan Hawkins is a pure shooter who helped UConn Huskies to a national title.
New Orleans will also hope for some big performances from Dyson Daniels. The Australian averaged 3.8 points per game in his first season in New Orleans. Daniels will try to prove he deserves a bigger role with the team in the upcoming season.
Pelicans Summer League Coaches
Assistant coach Casey Hill will be the summer league coach for the Pelicans.
Pelicans Schedule
The Pelicans do not have the toughest schedule. They play three teams with established, veteran-laden rosters.
The Warriors and Suns will have a lot of players trying to make NBA rosters. They do not have huge lottery draft pick names.
New Orleans is listed at 35/1 to win the summer league. Their biggest game will be against the No. 2 overall pick Brandon Miller and the Hornets.
What to Watch For?
Daniels is the main name to watch on this team. He could have a productive tournament and a lot of touches.
Garrison Brooks was a productive big man in college for North Carolina and Mississippi State. He could get minutes for the Pelicans in Vegas. Former Ohio State player E.J. Liddell is another college star looking for NBA run on this squad.
