The Pelicans are “closing in” on signing former Lakers guard Anthony Brown, tweets Marc Stein of ESPN.com. New Orleans has a roster spot open after waiving Archie Goodwin earlier today.
Brown, who was released by L.A. last month, averaged 4.0 points and 2.4 rebounds in his rookie season with the Lakers.
Brown was the first player selected in the October 30th D-League draft. Through three games with the Erie Bayhawks, he is second in the league in scoring with an average of 29.3 points per contest to go with 4.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists.
