Adams is the only player of the four who did not transfer during his college career. Dawkins began his career at Michigan, Bess at Michigan State and Zylan Cheatham at San Diego State. Cheatham and Adams, while playing on opposite sides of the nation, do share one odd connection: Their college head coaches, Bobby and Danny Hurley, are brothers.
Adams and Dawkins both signed “Exhibit 10” contracts. Those deals, introduced in the most recent collective bargaining agreement, are one-year deals worth the minimum salary. They can include an optional bonus ranging from $5K to $50K. It can be converted into a two-way contract before the start of the season.
The Pelicans again sent shockwaves through the NBA landscape, and they were rewarded with quite a haul for their efforts.
The four players will compete for a spot on the Pelicans’ roster, along with incoming draftees that include Williamson, No. 8 pick Jaxson Hayes out of Texas, No. 17 pick Nickeil Alexander Walker out of Virginia Tech and No. 35 pick Marcos Louzada Silva out of Brazil.
