Christian Shumate’s Pelicans Comeback | New Orleans Pelicans News

Christian Shumate is back in New Orleans on a training camp deal with the Pelicans — a surprise return for the undrafted rookie who spent last year bouncing between their G League team and Summer Leagues. With Micah Peavy gone, Shumate’s high-energy, hustle-first style could fill a crucial role on a roster overflowing with ball-handlers. While he’s not yet a top-tier defender like Peavy, his athleticism and playmaking instincts off the ball make him a perfect fit for the second unit — especially as they look to add depth that doesn’t rely on dribble-heavy offense. He’ll need to improve his three-point shot, but the Pelicans’ faith in him signals he’s got serious upside. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
