Who and why is Damien Wilkins?

The Charlotte Hornets signed journeyman swingman Damien Wilkins earlier this week. Aside from projecting to be a bench player, what else can we say we know about him?

Shortly after news broke that Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was out for the season, the team announced the signing of 35 year old forward Damien Wilkins.

Now, you may have a passing familiarity with Wilkins. Perhaps the most notable thing about Wilkins is his relation to Gerald and Dominique Wilkins. Beyond that, Wilkins split his four years in college at North Carolina State University and Georgia State University before turning pro in 2004.
