Notable Players on the Pelicans’ 2017 Summer League roster:

Former Boston Celtic James Young

Former Atlanta Hawk Jordan Crawford

#31 Pick in the 2017 Draft Frank Jackson

Matchup To Watch: Quinn Cook vs Bryce Cotton

Cotton and Cook are fringe NBA players, and an impressive Summer League showing could catapult either one onto a roster. Cook played 9 games for the Pelicans last season, averaging 5.9 points and 1.6 assists a game. For the past two seasons, Cook was a dominant force in the D-League, and was named a D-League All-Star in 2015-16. In 39 games last season, Cook averaged 26 points, 6.7 assists, and 4.1 rebounds a game for the Canton Charge. If his Summer League performance resembles his D-League play, Cook may be on an opening night NBA roster.
