Bey tentatively projects as the Pelicans' starting small forward, but the addition of Bennedict Mathurin gives him a formidable threat for a starting job.
Mathurin was effectively a full-time starter for the Pacers before becoming the first man off the bench following his trade to the Clippers. Bey is coming off a career year, averaging a career-high 17.7 points per game while shooting 45.1 percent from the field in his first season with New Orleans (72 regular-season games), so the camp battle between Bey and Mathurin for a spot in the first unit should be one to monitor this fall.
