The New Orleans Pelicans inked Kavell Bigby-Williams to an Exhibit 10 contract, Keith Smith of Yahoo Sports noted confirming the original report stemming from Andrew Lopez of NOLA.

The 23-year-old Brit forward/center impressed in the 2019 Summer League at Las Vegas with the Pelicans. He averaged 7.7 points and 7.8 rebounds in 16.5 minutes of action per contest.

Bigby-Williams rounded up his NCAA career with LSU putting up 7.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game in the 2018-19 season. Before joining the Tigers and helping them march to the Sweet 16 of the 2019 postseason tournament, he played for Oregon and Gillette College.
