Pelicans add Daeqwon Plowden on Exhibit 10 contract

The New Orleans Pelicans have signed Daeqwon Plowden to an Exhibit 10 contract.

Daeqwon Plowden is signing an Exhibit 10 deal with the Pelicans, sources tell @TheAthletic.

The former Bowling Green star showed off some impressive athleticism and shot 65 percent from the floor while playing for New Orleans at Summer League.

The 6-foot-6, 215-pound Plowden played for the Pelicans’ Las Vegas Summer League squad, averaging 16 minutes per game. The 23-year-old averaged 12 points per game, 64.7% from the field and 50% from three-point range.

A five-year college player at Bowling Green, Plowden was a three-time All-MAC selection and named to the league’s all-defensive team this past season. He averaged 15.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game and shot 35% behind the arc in 2021-22.

Exhibit 10 deals are non-guaranteed contracts at minimum potential salary but Plowden would receive a $50,000 bnus if ends up with the Pelicans’ G-League farm club in Birmingham.

New Orleans has already signed former NC State star Dereon Seabron to one of their two available two-way contracts.
