Donald Sloan - G - Pelicans

Donald Sloan made his Hornets debut on Monday, playing just 28 seconds with no statistics.

Sloan was a depth signing and will need to overtake Brian Roberts before any discussion about his fantasy value is worth having.

Donald Sloan - G - Pelicans

Hornets sign G Donald Sloan to a 10-day contract.

The move was expected and is now official. Sloan couldn't beat out Jeremy Pargo in Cleveland, so he's not going to make an impact with the Hornets, either.

Donald Sloan - G - Pelicans

The Hornets are expected to sign Donald Sloan.

He couldn't beat out Jeremy Pargo to be Kyrie Irving's backup and Sloan will now have to compete with Brian Roberts for minutes. Roberts has been solid in his rookie season, so there's not a lot to like with Sloan.

Donald Sloan - G - Pelicans

Donald Sloan made just 1-of-6 shots in 21 minutes vs. the Pistons, finishing the home loss with two points, four rebounds and two assists.

Sloan's streak of double-digit scoring performances ended at two. His role, backing up Jeremy Pargo at PG, is too limited for use in average fantasy leagues.

Donald Sloan - G - Pelicans

Donald Sloan played 31 minutes off the bench in Friday's blowout loss to the Wolves, scoring 10 points on 4-of-11 shooting (including a three) with five rebounds, one assist, and one steal.

Sloan has slowly picked up his game over the past week, but the blowout nature of the game and Sloan's lack of upside should give owners reason to pause. He needs to fully overtake Jeremy Pargo (17 minutes) before we're giving him too much credibility in most formats.

Donald Sloan - G - Pelicans

The NBA issued a warning to Donald Sloan and J.J. Barea on Monday about flopping.

Sloan's flop was particularly audacious -- he's on the bubble in Cleveland's rotation, and this isn't what he wanted to be his standout moment from Week 1.

Donald Sloan - G - Pelicans

The Cavaliers have named Donald Sloan as their backup PG behind Kyrie Irving.

Sloan beat out Jeremy Pargo for the job, though Pargo will remain with the team as emergency backcourt depth. This is a nice turn of events for Sloan, a former D-League call-up, but he still won't have fantasy relevance while Irving is healthy.

Donald Sloan - G - Pelicans

Donald Sloan reportedly has a leg up on Jeremy Pargo for the backup PG position.

Neither player is relevant to fantasy owners with Kyrie Irving entrenched as the starting point guard, but if Irving were to ever go down for an extended period, the winner of the backup PG battle would be looking at extended minutes.

Donald Sloan - G - Pelicans

Donald Sloan and Jeremy Pargo are in a competition to back up Kyrie Irving.

Irving is expected to play about 36 minutes per night, so the guy who wins the job isn't going to be relevant to fantasy owners. The Cavs could also explore bringing in more depth at the position, an idea the team had toyed with previously.

Donald Sloan - G - Pelicans

The Cavs are expected to bring in another point guard before training camp begins.

With just Donald Sloan and Jeremy Pargo sitting behind Kyrie Irving (hand), the Cavs could target a veteran who has more experience. As long as Irving is healthy and stays on the court, no PG behind him in Cleveland will be a factor for fantasy owners.
