The Charlotte Hornets two-way contract players did not live up to expectations last season. Point guard and Carolina Tarheel favorite Marcus Paige wasn’t able to become a meaningful facilitator during his time in both Greensboro and Charlotte. The other signing, Mangok Mathiang, showed that he will never quite develop any sort of outside game. As a result of all this, both players were cut from their respective contracts this offseason.
The Hornets already filled Paige’s spot with former Xavier point guard J.P Macura. He has the size at 6’5” and deep shooting range to potentially become a solid 6th man off the bench sometime in the future.
