The Charlotte Hornets captured their first preseason victory under their rookie head coach Charles Lee, beating the Miami Heat 111-108. Lee made sure to give his franchise player his props after his strong game.
“On top of being a two-way player, I've also loved the way he's been able to play with the ball in his hands and off the ball. His improved running habits off the ball, getting some more catch-and-shoot threes, and trusting his teammates. We talked about pick & rolls and can we hit the seam a little more? I though tonight we hit them a couple times and got wide-open threes.
