The Charlotte Hornets have a sneaky need for talent on the wing. There’s a decent chance Malik Monk walks in free agency. If that happens, the only wing depth the Hornets have behind an injury prone Gordon Hayward are the Martin twins, Jalen McDaniels, and an out-of-position Miles Bridges. That’s not going to cut it if the team wants to win a lot of games.
James Bouknight has the potential to bring scoring punch off the bench right away, and he has enough in his game to give reason to believe that he can develop to more than just a bucket getter.
