Alexander is living the two-way grind that rarely makes highlight reels. A smooth combo guard at Creighton — comfortable scoring at all three levels and capable of running an offense in a pinch — he went undrafted in 2024 and signed a two-way with Denver, then moved to New Orleans on another two-way for 2025-26. Most of that season was spent with the G League's Birmingham Squadron, the developmental proving ground where fringe NBA guards either sharpen one non-negotiable skill or stall out. The tools are there; the open question is which strength becomes reliable enough to earn steady NBA minutes. His Pelicans deal lapsed this summer, leaving him a restricted free agent as of July 2026 — a familiar crossroads for young guards still fighting for a rotation foothold.
