Hornets' supposedly highly coveted summer signing has yet to justify roster spot

Back in the summer, the Charlotte Hornets' decision to sign Drew Peterson drew praise from some pundits. David Thorpe of TrueHoops even revealed that another team was "desperate" to acquire him, but the Hornets landed him first. As it turns out, the G League standout has yet to prove worthy of holding one of their three two-way spots.

Peterson finally made his Hornets debut on Monday, and, unfortunately, he was unable to turn in a decent, let alone an impressive, performance. In 16 minutes of action, he finished with one point, one rebound, and one assist and missed all three of his shots, two of which were from beyond the arc.
