Bryce McGowens Rising for Pelicans | New Orleans Pelicans News

The Pelicans are doubling down on internal growth this offseason, betting big on under-the-radar gems like Bryce McGowens. After a breakout two-way season where he averaged over eight points in 20 minutes while shooting 41% from three, McGowens earned a regular contract and is primed to thrive. His six-foot-six frame, ball-handling smarts, and ability to space the floor without demanding the ball make him the perfect complement to stars like Zion and Dejounte. Not a defensive stopper, but a reliable, team-first wing — exactly what the Pelicans need as they lean into development over flashy trades.

Pelicans Sign Jaron Pierre Jr. to Two-Way Deal | New Orleans Pelicans News

The Pelicans just pulled off a savvy move, signing Jaron Pierre Jr. to a two-way contract — giving him a shot to develop while splitting time between the NBA and G League. A second-round pick with serious scoring upside — especially around the rim and from deep — Pierre Jr. showed flashes of stardom in college, but his recent efficiency and defense need work. With roster spots still open and Ziaire Williams reportedly on the radar, this signing signals the Pelicans are actively building. Can he turn his potential into production? Watch the G League for signs of what’s to come. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Pelicans' Wing Dilemma in Free Agency | New Orleans Pelicans News

The Pelicans are in a bind with a tiny budget and no big-name signings in sight, forcing them to scramble for a reliable wing to bolster their rotation. After losing out on Ziaire Williams to the Lakers, they’re eyeing veteran Bruce Brown Jr.—a durable, all-82-game performer who fits their needs off the bench, even if he’s not a lockdown defender. Brown’s return would be a safe bet, especially since he was previously traded to New Orleans. But they also have a high-upside gamble: Jaron Pierre Jr., their 58th pick, who showed scoring flashes in Summer League but needs development. Sending Pierre to the G League could free up cap space to sign Brown, balancing potential with proven reliability.
