Charlotte Hornets miss development opportunity with Arnoldas Kulboka’s deal in Spain

Coming off an impressive outing in Summer League, it appeared that Charlotte Hornets draft-and-stash prospect Arnoldas Kulboka was a candidate for a roster spot in Charlotte. However, some 11 days later, Kulboka has agreed to a deal to play in Spain for Bilbao RETAbet, according to Donatas Urbonas.

Kulboka was originally drafted by the Hornets 55th overall in 2018. Last season in Germany, Kulboka averaged 5.2 points and 1.5 rebounds in just 13.2 minutes. During this years Summer League, he averaged 8.8 points and 4.5 rebounds.

To many, including myself, Kulboka was worthy of a final roster spot with the Hornets.
