NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) – Pelicans assistant coach Corey Brewer will serve as head coach of the Summer League team when action begins on the court Thursday in Las Vegas.
Brewer, 39, will have a ton of talent to call on in the desert. That includes Yves Missi and the first-round picks, Jeremiah Fears and Derik Queen.
“You can put on weight and do different things but confidence is very important in basketball… When he got here, he didn’t know what he was, he was just happy to be here. Now he knows he deserves to be here”

Brewer was a star for the Florida Gators and played in the NBA for 13 years. His son, KB, also has a shot to play in the league. He won a state title with Country Day this spring, and Brewer can jump out of the gym with his dunks.
Brewer joined the Pelicans’ staff soon after retiring as a player in 2020. He was hired as a player development coach and was promoted to assistant coach last year.
