NEW ORLEANS (AP) The New Orleans Hornets waived guard Bryce Drew on Tuesday, a day after putting him on injured reserve to make room for David Wesley.

Drew averaged less than a point and an assist in 15 games with the Hornets this season.

He is best known for a shot he made in college: a buzzer-beating, game-winning, off-balance 3-pointer in Valparaiso's 1998 NCAA tournament upset of Mississippi.

The Hornets signed Drew as a free agent before the 2001-02 season. In his first two seasons with team, he averaged 3.1 points and 1.5 assists.
