The New Orleans Hornets have signed guard D.J. Strawberry and center Darryl Watkins.

Strawberry played in college for Maryland but has yet to catch on in the NBA after being taken in the second round of 2007 draft by the Phoenix Suns. Strawberry spent last season in the NBA Development League and played the season before in Italy.

Watkins was undrafted in 2007 but was later signed by the Sacramento Kings, for whom he played nine games. Watkins also played professionally in China in 2008-09.
