The Charlotte Hornets won a battle against the Sacramento Kings last night, 124-123. Cody Martin played hero, Miles Bridges looked great, and Gordon Hayward chipped in with a solid performance as well. However, this game wasn’t about any of those three. This game was the coming-out party for Charlotte’s top draft pick in the 2021 NBA Draft - James Bouknight.
After being drafted 11th overall, the young guard received very little playing time to start the year. However, instead of letting it affect him, he bided his time in the G-League.
