2020-2021 Hornets season preview: Grant Riller

Grant Riller was pegged as an early-to-mid second round pick heading into the 2020 NBA Draft, but the Hornets were lucky enough to select him in the second round with the 56th overall pick. He put himself on the map after four highly-productive seasons with the College of Charleston Cougars, posting career averages of 23.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.5 steals per-40 minutes while shooting 51.9 percent on field goals, 35.6 percent on threes and 79.6 percent from the line.

Riller left Ocoee High School in Ocoee, Fla. deemed a two-star recruit by 247Sports, though he was unranked by other recruiting services despite putting up 29.
