Quincy Pondexter can finally officially call New Orleans his new home as his much anticipated trade from Oklahoma City was consumated. The Hornets finalized a deal with the Thunder that sent the rights to Cole Aldrich and guard Morris Peterson in exchange for the rights to Craig Brackins and Pondexter.

Pondexter, the 26th overall pick in the draft, finished third in the Pac-10 in scoring (19.3 ppg) and rebounds (7.4 rpg) for Washington his senior season. Quincy was named All-Pac-10 First Team and to the Pac-10 All-Tournament Team his senior season and set a Pac-10 record with five player-of-the-week honors. The 6-6, 225 pound guard/forward finished his career as Washington's all-time career leader in games played (136) and finished third in scoring (1,786 points).

Pondexter joins fellow Pac-10 alums Darren Collison (UCLA) and Ike Diogu (Arizona State) on the New Orleans roster.
