Pelicans' Quinn Cook: Signs contract with Pelicans

Cook signed a non-guaranteed contract Saturday with the Pelicans.

Analysis:

After going unselected out of Duke in the 2015 NBA Draft, Cook joined the Cavaliers for training camp, but was unable to crack the team's final roster. He went on to spend the year developing in the D-League with the Canton Charge, where he went on to be named the league's Rookie of the Year after averaging 19.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.2 steals over 33.8 minutes per game. While he's far from a lock to make the Pelicans' roster, Cook might have a better opportunity than most players on non-guaranteed deals to break camp with an NBA team. The Pelicans are likely to be without Tyreke Evans (knee) and Jrue Holiday (personal) through at least December, so the team could have room for another point guard when the season begins.
