The Pelicans signed the former Nuggets backcourt star with a two-way contract. He is the best rookie in the Development League?

According to HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto, the New Orleans Pelicans reached an agreement with former Denver Nuggets backcourt star Trey Alexander, who was previously in free agency, who received a two-way contract from the Pelicans. Alexander was born in May 2003 and is 22 years old. He was the undrafted in the NBA draft last year. According to data from the physical test session of the joint trial before the NBA draft last year, Alexander's bare foot height was 191.1cm, his wingspan was 209.6cm, his standing height was 257.8cm, and his weight was 84.8kg.

In the NBA regular season last season, Alexander made a total of 24 appearances in 82 games, averaging only 4.9 minutes per game, averaging 1.3 points, 0.5 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.1 steals, 0.2 turnovers and 0.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 31.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 17.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 75%. In the playoffs, Alexander was unable to play on behalf of the team due to his identity as a two-way contract player. In the NBA Development League regular season last season, Alexander made a total of 30 appearances for the Nuggets' subordinate team Grand Rapids Gold, 29 of which were the starters, and averaged 37 minutes per game, with averaging 25.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 2.9 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. He shot 46.3%, three-point shooting percentage 39.7%, and free throw shooting percentage 81.7%.

Alexander did not get any chance to play in the NBA last season, and his performance was also relatively average. However, when he arrived at the NBA Development League, his performance was simply phenomenal. His performance was outstanding. His offensive efficiency was very stable. He was an excellent scorer. He also had remarkable performances in organization and tandem offense. He could also play a certain role in the defensive end. With his outstanding performance, Alexander received the honor of the NBA Development League's best rookie last season, and he was also shortlisted for the NBA Development League's All-Squad, which also shows how outstanding his personal performance is.

In fact, although Alexander was a undraft in the NBA draft last year, he immediately received a two-way contract from the Nuggets after the draft last year, which also shows that the Nuggets still recognize his ability. Not only that, his performance in the NBA Development League last season was also remarkable, so we don’t quite understand why the Nuggets cut him under this situation. However, the Pelicans also quickly signed him, which also ensured that he could continue to stay in the NBA arena. I wonder if Alexander will get more opportunities to perform in the NBA next season, and can he seize the opportunity to prove his strength and gain a foothold in the NBA?
