2019-2020 Hornets report card: Dwayne Bacon
Photo by Kent Smith/NBAE via Getty ImagesThe final 18 games of the 2018-2019 season seemed like Dwayne Bacon’s coming-out party. He was a mainstay in the starting lineup and scored upwards of 20 points three times, capitalizing off of opposing defenses paying so much attention to Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb. The team’s “704” marketing ploy on social media last summer using Bacon, Miles Bridges and Devonte’ Graham’s jersey numbers in reference to Charlotte’s area code indicated that he was a key piece to the franchise’s future.
