Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to the Pelicans

Change of horizon for Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. According to Shams Charania, the interior, who celebrates his 23rd birthday today, signed a “two-way contract” with the Pelicans. He would have favored this option while standard contracts awaited him elsewhere.

The player drafted in 32nd position in the 2021 Draft will thus open a second page in his NBA career. The interior out of Villanova signed two rather interesting first seasons with the Thunder. In less than a hundred appearances in total, he averaged around 7 points (43% shooting) and 5 rebounds in 20 minutes.

Navigating between the G-League and its big sister, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will try to find a place in a Pelicans racket that is already well stocked (Zion Williamson, Cody Zeller, Larry Nance Jr, Jonas Valanciunas), but which can be prone to injuries.

His appetite for 3-point shooting (34% in career) will perhaps be enough to convince Willie Green, who does not really have this interior shooting profile, to integrate him into his rotation.
