After going undrafted in Thursday's NBA draft, Shaun Pruitt has found a home with New Orleans -- a summer home, at the least. Agent Mike Naiditch said this morning Pruitt will play for the Hornets in the NBA summer league that begins July 11 in Las Vegas. Naiditch said the Hornets, who did not have a draft pick and could have up to five unrestricted free agents, offer a sound opportunity for Pruitt. Assistant general manager Brian Haney had contact with Pruitt's party "before, during and after the draft," Naiditch said, to make certain the former Illinois center would compete for the Hornets in July.
