Hornets set to quietly part ways with last season's part-time starter

The Charlotte Hornets are likely going to say goodbye to DaQuan Jeffries soon, as there is no more room for him on the team, barring a blockbuster trade before the regular season begins.

The Hornets currently have 18 players with standard contracts, and they must whittle it down to 15 anytime before the opening of the regular season. Aside from Jeffries, the guys who will most probably be gone soon are Pat Connaughton, who could be a valuable asset for the organization if only it had enough roster space, and Nick Smith Jr., who may have whiffed on his chances to establish himself in Charlotte.
