FEBRUARY 23rd, 5:16pm: The signing is official, according to a press release from the team.
FEBRUARY 22nd, 6:31pm: The Pelicans will sign Hollis Thompson to a 10-day contract, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.com (Twitter link). New Orleans had an open roster spot after the DeMarcus Cousins trade, as the team’s depth chart at Roster Resource indicates.
The team auditioned several players earlier in the week. Mario Chalmers, Quinn Cook and Reggie Williams were among the players trying out for a 10-day deal.
Thompson has been playing for the Spurs’ D-League affiliate. He played for the Sixers earlier this season but was cut before his contract became fully guaranteed.
Another big man? You’d think they would be looking to add shooters.
He a sf/sg
This a nice pick up a SG/SF 6’8″ 210 & can shoot lights out from the 3, just what NOLA needs
Coming from a Sixers fan, he’s not what anyone needs
He’s a good bench player but don’t overrate him.
Hollis is a one trick pony. Can shoot a little and that’s it. Collected an NBA salary for a few years. TTP
Umm that’s all they need him to do is shoot the 3 smh & I’m a 6ers fan also they don’t need him to do anything else
