ANALYSIS: Pelle averaged 2.0 points and 2.0 rebounds over 3 games last season with the Utah Jazz. Pelle, a former undrafted free agent, has spent time in short bursts with the Philadelphia 76ers, Brooklyn Nets, Sacramento Kings, New York Knicks and Boston Celtics over the last four years after bouncing around the G League. The 6-foot-10 center will look to compete for a roster spot and reinforce a short-handed center position in Portland, which currently only holds Jusuf Nurkic and Cody Zeller.
