New Orleans Pelicans announce signing of Charles Cooke

The New Orleans Pelicans announced the signing of former Dayton Flyers guard Charles Cooke to a two-way contract Wednesday, two days after it was first reported Cooke had agreed to a contract with the Pelicans.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. According to the Pelicans, two-way players "will spend the majority of the year in the NBA G League, but can be called up to their NBA team for a maximum of 45 days during the season."

If Cooke plays in the NBA, he will be the first Dayton player recruited during the Archie Miller era (2011-17) to do so.

Cooke played two seasons at James Madison, sat out the 2014-15 season after transferring to Dayton and played two seasons with Dayton. He finished his college career in March with 1,570 points (957 with the Flyers).
