Trevon Bluiett, one of several former Xavier players to go undrafted on Thursday night, has agreed to play for the New Orleans Pelicans' NBA Summer League team, according to a report via Twitter from Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express-News confirmed via Twitter by Xavier Basketball.

If Bluiett makes the Pelicans' roster, he could be a teammate in New Orleans of former Xavier standout Jordan Crawford.

Since the draft ended, Bluiett's Xavier teammate, J.P. Macura, signed a two-way deal with the Charlotte Hornets. And another teammate, Kaiser Gates, will play for the Chicago Bulls in the NBA Summer League.

Bluiett's post-draft Tweet:

Nobody said it would be easy 🤷🏾‍♂️.. I love it. #STILL — Trevon Bluiett (@TrevonBluiett) June 22, 2018

Bluiett finished his Xavier career No. 2 on the program's scoring list with 2,261 points behind only all-time leading scorer and radio analyst Byron Larkin.

Bluiett, an AP All-America second-teamer who helped Xavier to the Big East regular-season championship, was one of 10 semifinalists for the 2018 Naismith Men's College Player of the Year award.

He was also a second-team All-American selection by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association.
