Pierre, who played his first college basketball season in 2020-21 at Southern Miss, turns 24 next month. He played his final season at SMU, averaging 17.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.4 three-pointers per game in 2025-26, shooting 46.2 percent from the field and 75.8 percent from the foul line. Pierre is a capable scorer on all three levels, but he turns 24 in mid-July. Pierre is a New Orleans native and will return to play for his hometown team, though they already have plenty of depth in the backcourt.
