Despite his progress, it clear the team will be cautious.

Point guard Jrue Holiday is on a minute restriction until January due to a previous stress reaction in his leg. Point guard Norris Cole is out at least six weeks with a high ankle sprain, while guard Tyreke Evans is sitting out the next preseason game with knee soreness. In addition to McCalebb and Robinson, wing players Chris Douglas-Roberts, Bryce Dejean-Jones and Sean Kilpatrick could see significant minutes, along with frontcourt reserve Jeff Adrien.
When he didn’t get an National Basketball Association opportunity out of college, McCalebb went on to have a successful career in Europe. He was also praised for his toughness and willingness to play defense. In 32 games for the Breakers last season, Webster averaged 15.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals per game.
Robinson was noted to be athletic and can get it going in just moments. But after only playing in four games with the Thunder, the team waived Robinson. It’s no pressure. I can come in and help them out a lot by just being Nate Robinson. In the offseason, Robinson elected to sign with the Chicago Bulls and attempt to bring his scoring ability to the Windy City. Robinson started 23 games and averaged 13.1 points.
According to ESPN, the 31-year-old has agreed a one-year deal at the veteran’s minimum. “I’m an energy guy”.
“If I’m doing too much, he’ll let me know”, Robinson said. “I’m ready to play – play hard”. They had a really nice run last season behind Anthony Davis’ MVP-level performance, but they ultimately fell to the Golden State Warriors in the first round. Asked to play out of position as a full-time point guard, he didn’t look out of place during any of his time on court, but didn’t have the standout game which perhaps could have kept in in the mix for a longer period of time.

Webster was always an outside chance to make the Pelicans’ final roster, but did impress coaches during his short stint with the American team. Thus, a move will need to be made to add Robinson to the team.
