Two years after the Charlotte Hornets drafted Nick Smith Jr. with the 27th overall pick, they have decided to part ways with him, which is a bit unsurprising if you think about it. One might wonder that maybe being a first-round selection should have afforded him more time to prove his worth, but that didn't turn out to be the case this time. Will Liam McNeeley suffer the same fate?
As many know, the Hornets were able to secure a late first-round pick in this year's draft, thanks to the Mark Williams trade with the Phoenix Suns.
