Another day, another Tar Heel-turned-Hornet.
Tuesday, the Charlotte Hornets came to terms on a two-way contract with former North Carolina guard Marcus Paige. Wednesday, the team announced they have signed former North Carolina forward Isaiah Hicks.
Hicks averaged 11.8 points and 5.5 rebounds as a senior, playing on North Carolina’s 2017 national championship team. Hicks wasn’t selected in June’s NBA draft. He played for the Los Angeles Clippers’ summer-league team.
In addition to Hicks, a 6-9 forward, the Hornets signed T.J. Williams, a 6-3 guard who played college ball at Northeastern. Williams averaged 21.
