Begic

Begic is a solid rebounder and shot blocker who has played professionally overseas since 2003, but more importantly, he’s a healthy body. With both Omer Asik (calf) and Alexis Ajinca (hamstring) sidelined, Begic has a decent shot at making the Pelicans regular season roster. However, he won’t be a significant factor in the rotation, and is not worth drafting in most leagues.

They signed him on Oct. 14, but he wasn’t expected to make the final roster anyways and was simply a healthy body on the court.
