Entering the regular season, Sion James was widely considered the wild card among the Charlotte Hornets' rookies. However, he has earned the trust of the coaching staff, having played key roles in their first two games. It looks like he has already established his role in the rotation, which could have a crucial implication for Josh Green.
At the moment, Green is still sidelined following shoulder surgery during the offseason, and it's unclear when he'll return. Another uncertainty is how much playing time he is going to get, considering that the Hornets have a surplus at the wing positions.
