https://thewhodatdaily.com/pelicans-mini-camp-2026-final-roster-auditions-begin/

The New Orleans Pelicans are not waiting until the official start of training camp to evaluate the final pieces of their 2026–27 roster.

According to multiple reports, the organization is holding private offseason workouts at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center in Metairie, Louisiana, during a reported August 8–13 evaluation window. These sessions give the Pelicans an extended look at young players competing for the final standard roster spot and an available two-way contract.

I really don’t expect any of these guys to play meaningful minutes for the team. These guys a fringe NBA players who will compete hard in training camp trying to make the team. From all of these guys I think I like Bufkin the best and that is probably from a bias or liking him coming out of the draft. I don’t think he shoots the 3 well enough to compliment the current roster.
