Former Oregon guard Jermaine Couisnard, as expected, wasn’t drafted in the NBA draft this week, but he did manage to sign a contract as a free agent.
Couisnard signed with the New Orleans Pelicans and will play in the NBA Summer League next month in hopes of making an impact and possibly making the big club.
Depending on how he does this summer, the Pelicans might see a fit to make Couisnard a two-way player, splitting time with New Orleans and their G-League squad, the Birmingham Squadron.
At Oregon, Couisnard solidified the shooting guard/small forward spot and even saw some time at point guard due to injuries to others or foul trouble. In his two seasons as a Duck, Couisnard averaged 15.2 points, 2.9 assists and four rebounds a game.
