Scores 15 in 12 minutes Alexander-Walker amassed 15 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists, two steals and one rebound in 12 minutes during Saturday's 126-103 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Alexander-Walker made the most of his opportunities in the blowout defeat, this after not appearing at all in Thursday's tilt versus the Jazz. Alexander-Walker paced the team in scoring, and it's possible this will help him become a consistent part of the rotation going forward. Nevertheless, it's also possible that coach Alvin Gentry will continue to rely on more experienced players so long as the Pelicans have a shot at the playoffs.

Scores 16 in final scrimmage Jackson produced 16 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and one assist in 20 minutes during Monday's 124-103 scrimmage win over the Bucks.

Impact Jackson earned the same number of minutes as rookie guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker. While Alexander-Walker is already a more well-rounded contributor, Jackson provides a consistent scoring punch and is less sporadic overall. As such, it's possible that Jackson will continue to earn the nod over Alexander-Walker this season when coach Alvin Gentry goes deep into his bench.

Thrives as substitute Alexander-Walker registered 21 points (8-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists, four rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 32 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 119-104 scri...

Impact Alexander-Walker might have a crowded path towards earning meaningful minutes once play resumes, but this performance will certainly boost his confidence moving forward. The fact that he led all Pelicans in minutes should be encouraging for his chances of earning a decent role off the bench moving forward. The rookie point guard averaged 5.1 points in 12.2 minutes per game across 41 appearances when the season got suspended back in March.

Impact Alexander-Walker suffered a hairline fracture of his right wrist in early March and was ruled out indefinitely, but the NBA's four-month shutdown afforded the rookie guard ample recovery time. Though he'll be available off the bench when the Pelicans resume their season July 30 versus the Jazz, Alexander-Walker may not have a spot in Gentry's rotation. Before his injury was disclosed, Alexander-Walker was assigned to the G League and didn't appear in any of the Pelicans' preceding nine games.
