2017-18 Season Recap | Julyan Stone

Back in the NBA for the first time in three years, point guard Julyan Stone served largely as backcourt depth for the Charlotte Hornets throughout the 2017-18 season.

Stone signed with the organization last August after spending his previous three professional seasons playing in the NBA G League, Turkey and Italy. He started the year in the rotation with Michael Carter-Williams injured, finishing with a season-high-tying six points in the opener at Detroit. After making just two appearances, a left hamstring strain sidelined Stone for the next 17 outings.

With a crowded point guard rotation, Stone played rather sparingly this season and the situation got even murkier at times with Malik Monk fluctuating between both backcourt positions.
