The Pelicans have filled their open two-way slots, having signed guard Trey Alexander and center Hunter Dickinson to two-way contracts, according to NBA.com’s transaction log.
New Orleans had carried over Lester Quinones from last season on a two-year, two-way deal, so all three of their two-way slots are now occupied.
Alexander, 22, joined the Nuggets on a two-way deal last offseason after going undrafted out of Creighton. He had an excellent G League season, earning NBAGL Rookie of the Year honors after racking up 25.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 1.6 steals in 37.0 minutes per game, with a shooting line of .462/.395/.817, across 30 total appearances in the Tip-Off Tournament and regular season.
However, he played sparingly at the NBA level for Denver and wasn’t issued a two-way qualifying offer this past weekend, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Dickinson, meanwhile, reached an agreement on a two-way deal with the Pelicans last week, shortly after going undrafted.
The two-time consensus AP All-American averaged 17.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game over the course of his college career, while shooting 55.5% from the field. He spent three years at Michigan before playing for Kansas for the past two seasons.
A two-way deal allows a player to be active for up to 50 NBA regular season games and carries a salary of roughly $636K, which becomes guaranteed if the player remains under contract through January 7.
