As the season approaches, I remained unconvinced Dwayne Bacon is real. The Charlotte Hornets don’t keep second round draft picks. They last time they did, people were convinced the world was ending based on a 2009 movie starring John Cusack where the world ended.
Keeping a second round pick just isn’t part of the Hornets brand. It’s all about cash considerations, an annual tradition where the Hornets sell the pick and stash the money in an underground bunker.
And yet, there he is, the small forward from Florida State, accidentally being called Dwyane Wade by Rich Cho.
