The New Orleans Pelicans have announced that they have resigned Sharpshooter Luke Babbit. Luke shot 51.3% from three point land last season, while averaging only 13.2 minutes a game. The deal is 2 years, $2.5 Million.
I think this was a great move considering our new head coach is Alvin Gentry. Coach Gentry emphasizes floor spacing in his system to give open looks to perimeter shooters. Luke Babbit said, "That's definitely one of the reasons i wanted to come back to New Orleans, not only Coach Gentry's system, style of play and philosophy, but to have a player like AD, he's going to attract so much attention. We're going to be out running, so there will be open looks for guys on the perimeter. I think it suits my game pretty well."
