Johnny O’Bryant III brought a slimmer of hope last season that lasted literally one game. With the Charlotte Hornets mounting up losses and needing someone to step in for the injured Cody Zeller, O’Bryant joined the Hornets on a 10-day contract, and in his second game, scored 15 points on 7-9 shooting along with six rebounds. It was a solid, and much needed performance, but he never built on it, playing in just two more games before suffering a season ending injury.
You can watch highlights from the Denver game, and from the few others he played in, below:
It was enough for the Hornets, however, who offered him a multi-year, non-guaranteed contract.
