Charlotte Hornets new executive vice president of basketball operations Jeff Peterson has moved quickly on making a new hire to serve alongside him.
The Charlotte Hornets are hiring Atlanta Hawks executive Dotun Akinwale as an assistant general manager, sources tell ESPN. Akinwale — a VP of Player Personnel with Hawks — is the first addition to new EVP of Basketball Operations Jeff Peterson’s staff.

As Woj notes in the Tweet, this is the ‘first’ addition to Peterson’s staff. There will surely be more overhaul around the front office, and everyone all the way down to scouts and training staffers are at risk of being replaced.
