2020 Hornets prospect scouting report: Payton Pritchard

Few things go together like the Charlotte Hornets and a weak backup point guard position. Throughout Kemba Walker’s time in Charlotte, the Hornets struggled to find a competent backup to run the show when he sat. That problem would’ve been rectified by the ascension of Devonte’ Graham, but he ascended too much and looks to be the team’s starting point guard for the foreseeable future. That bumped Terry Rozier off the ball and again opened a gaping hole at the backup point guard spot. You can’t really bank on a late second round pick filling a significant role like that, but you can try.
