Dwayne Bacon showed some promise last year with the Charlotte Hornets. He was putting the ball in the basket and playing good defense. He was name-dropped in the preseason by head coach James Borrego as having to play well in a key role if the Hornets were going to find success this year.
This year has not been very kind to Bacon. He began the year in the starting lineup and is now playing in the G-League in his 3rd year as an NBA player. To his credit, he is playing extremely well there, averaging a whopping 36 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 assists per game on 48% shooting from the field down there!
