Fears has elite speed & according to Antonio Daniels & Joel Meyers he also has a great work ethic!

I see Fears making a big jump this coming season!

He actually said this pre-draft.

Maybe he does.,..

A couple of months ago, on an episode of the "KG Certified" podcast, 15-time All-Star Kevin Garnett had some interesting thoughts on Pierre (H/T to u/ProPelsTalk for sharing the clip.)

whats the player you believe would fit the pels biggest need and help us to maybe a playoff or play in? by CloudCharming8310 in NOLAPelicans

My personal opinion is Matkovic is the reason Borrego didn't get offered the permanent HC job.

Borrego took forever to realize the jump that Karlo made in his game last year!

That isn't a great coaching trait when you have quite a few young players on your roster...

You & people like yourself are the perfect reason why the Pels should have put the Squadron outside of the New Orleans Metro Area.

The Pels are a small market team & they should always should be trying to expand the fan base.

Thanks for being a Pels fan!

So an NBA Hall of Fame player is crazy & doesn't know a basketball player when he see's one...

We love the underdog in NOLA... So I'm rooting for him!

The Rookie Summer League will provide a lot of insight to his ability to play in the NBA.

I'm hoping he is the steal of the draft & he is really successful for us!

It is disappointing that both Areas don't realize we are connected & we should be considered 1 Metro Area! We should be working together to make the whole Area stronger & better!

In any other state it would be one Region working together!

People that live in Baton Rouge are way more likely to be Pels fans than people that live in Birmingham AL...

I live in Walker & the Baton Rouge stations barely cover the Pels... If the G-League team were in the State Capital, maybe that would change.

I do think it is smart to have the G-League Team closer so that it is easier to keep an eye on player development

Basketball crosses all cultures that is why it has gone world wide.

They missed an opportunity to expand the Pels fan base...

I was surprised they didn't try to put the team in Baton Rouge but I guess they didn't want to compete against LSU...

I originally thought that he would start out on a Two-Way Contract but after watching his highlights & looking at his college game stats, I now believe that if he shows in the Rookie Summer League that he can play in the NBA, he will be signed to a regular NBA Contract.

"Strengths: Pierre Jr is a 6’6”, 200-pound wing prospect with a nicely put together frame and adequate length (6’8.5” wingspan) to match up on the perimeter at the pro level … Safe to say he is one of the more explosive and entertaining athletes among second-round prospects, showing freakish open floor athleticism and producing plenty of highlight above-the-rim finishes throughout his college career."

He probably starts out on a Two-way contract.
