Don’t forget about Micah Peavy.

While New Orleans Pelicans' first round draft picks Jeremiah Fears and Derik Queen have received most of the ink so far this season, the team's second round pick is showing that he belongs, too.

Peavy was drafted out of Georgetown mainly for his defensive prowess. But in Monday’s 126-109 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, his offensive game showed up as well.

Peavy’s previous career-high was just 4 points. On Monday, he scored 16 points while shooting 7-of-9 from the floor.

“It felt great,” Peavy said. “In practice I’m shooting and knocking down shots. To finally see it in a game feels good. I wish we could have got a W today, but I got a little positive out of it just getting my confidence up for the next game.”
