There’s no argument against Tidjane Salaun being the Charlotte Hornets’ most improved player this season. An extended stint with the Greensboro Swarm appears to have been transformative for the second-year pro. Interestingly, it’s Liam McNeeley’s turn to make waves in the G League, and there’s hope that he can experience something similar soon.
Salaun had a forgettable rookie campaign, being considered one of the worst rotation players in the league, primarily due to his dreadful shooting percentages. It looked like he was on the way to another miserable season after starting this year shooting 36.8 percent from the field and 33.
