After appearing in the latter part of last season for the injury plagued New Orleans Pelicans, guard/forward Jordan Hamilton has agreed to play for Tofaş Spor Kulubu from the Turkish Basketball First League, as reported by JD Shaw of DefPen on his Twitter:

The 26 year old suited up in eleven games for the Pelicans last season and averaged a very decent 11.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 27.6 minutes per game. The absence of offers from teams this off-season has led him to bring his talents in Turkey and prove his stock there.
Prior to playing for the Pelicans, he played for the the Denver Nuggets for three seasons after being selected 26th in the 2011 draft by the Dallas Mavericks. His draft rights were traded to the Nuggets the same night. He also had stints with the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers and two other teams in the D-League, Iowa Energy and Reno Bighorns.
