When the Charlotte Hornets drafted/traded for the draft rights to Dwayne Bacon, few expected him to have an instant impact on the team but after an impressive summer league and preseason, he has become a key player early in the year. While he isn’t scoring 20+ points per game or grabbing double-double’s, the rookie is filling an important role. Based on his production and where he was selected, it’s safe to say he is one of the steals of the 2017 draft class.
Although he isn’t setting the world on fire with his play, he is a consistent contributor and a surprising one at that.
