The New Orleans Pelicans are signing 2022 second-round pick Karlo Matkovic to a three-year, $4.9 million contract, sources tell @TheAthletic@Stadium. The 6-foot-11 center out of Croatia reaches his rookie deal, adding frontcourt depth to Pelicans.



This does not seem like a deal that the pelicans would have made if they had another option at center lined up.

I think they are going to run with Theis as the starter for now.

Their 1st round pick, Yves Missi played pretty well at SL.  Not sure how soon he's in the mix at C. But I believe between the three of them, they won't shop for a another one.
