After media day has passed and training camp is underway, Nicolas Batum has been praising the play of Marco Belinelli of late. As the two international players on the Charlotte Hornets‘ roster, Batum (France) has had a lot of great things to say about Belinelli (Italy) who is one of the new additions to the team this year. Only in his second season with the Queen City team, Nic has become one of the leaders.
The Hornets acquired Marco this offseason when they traded their first round pick in the 2016 draft (#22 pick) to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Belinelli.
