New Orleans Pelicans Summer League 2022 roster, dates and complete schedule

The New Orleans Pelicans are looking like a scary up-and-coming team in the Western Conference.

After starting 3-16 in the regular season last year, New Orleans made the playoffs without their star forward Zion Williamson. They have acquired the services of CJ McCollum, so when Williamson gets back healthy, they might enter the top six playoff seeds in the West.

The Pelicans are also rumored to be in the running for the Kevin Durant sweepstakes as they have assets and picks at their disposal.

Nevertheless, the New Orleans Pelicans have a great young core and are expected to be in playoff contention for years to come. They extended Williamson to a five-year $193 million deal yesterday.

The Pelicans do not take part in the California Classic or Salt Lake City Summer League and will directly participate in the Las Vegas games.

The New Orleans Pelicans' Summer League roster features a few NBA veterans such as Jose Alvarado, Trey Murphy III and Naji Marshall. All three played in the first round of the 2022 NBA playoffs in May under head coach Willie Green.

The Pelicans will also showcase their 2022 draft selections — Dyson Daniels, EJ Liddell and Karlo Matkovic. Daniels was picked 8th overall, while Liddell and Matkovic were selected 41st and 52nd overall, respectively.

Here is the Pelicans' Summer League roster:

Jared Harper is on a two-way contract with the team, while Deividas Sirvydis plays for the Pistons affiliate Motor City Cruise. Lottery selection Dyson Daniels is technically from the developmental league and used to play for the G League Ignite.

Assistant coach Jarron Collins will coach the team in the Summer League in Las Vegas.
