As training camp approaches, the New Orleans Pelicans have recruited some veteran support at the wing position. A few days ago, NBA source Shams Charania leaked information about the signing of former Chicago Bulls guard/forward Javonte Green, but the Pelicans formally confirmed it. No information about the contract was disclosed. He made 60.0% of his field goals overall for the Bulls, including 37.0% from beyond the three-point line, demonstrating his proficiency with the ball.
Green had career highs in scoring, rebounds, steals (1.1), and blocked shots (0.9), despite the small sample size. Last season, Green played in nine games with the Bulls, averaging 25.6 minutes, 7.4 rebounds, and 12.2 points. He improved even more in his five starts, averaging 14.0 points and 8.6 rebounds in 29.3 minutes per game.
