Only one of the Charlotte Hornets‘ two draft picks will take part in summer league this year. Malik Monk is slated to miss out on those five games in Orlando this year due to a sprained left ankle. That leaves second-round pick Dwayne Bacon in the spotlight with an interesting opportunity.
The much-anticipated debut of Monk in a Hornets’ (summer league) jersey will have to wait. As for Bacon, the 6’5 small forward is now primed to be the team’s biggest prospect in Orlando. Of all the players on Charlotte’s roster, Dwayne arguably has the most to prove as he’s never played a professional game before.
