The Pelicans just signed undrafted rookie Malik Dia to a two-way contract, hoping his size and scoring potential can fill frontcourt depth as they rebuild. After averaging 14+ points in college and putting up solid numbers in Summer League, Dia gets a shot to develop in the G League while the Pelicans, not expected to contend, prioritize youth. The move comes alongside waiving Hunter Dickinson and other bigs, signaling a clear shift in their roster strategy as they look to the future with Zion Williamson and DeAndre Jordan still in the mix.
