Saddiq Bey

Bey shot 45.1% from three-point range in his final college season at Villanova — one of the most efficient shooting campaigns by a wing prospect in recent draft history.

He is the son of a father who was a professional basketball player, giving him an early education in the game's demands.

Bey's acquisition cost the Pelicans nothing extra beyond the Poole trade — the front office views him as undervalued by his previous market.

At Villanova, he played alongside Collin Gillespie and developed in a system that produced two NCAA championships under Jay Wright.
