Meet "the NBA’s highest-paid, quality-control scout"

An injured Hornets star is making the most of his time away from the hardwood by developing a love for the scouting and coaching aspect of the game.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is not making any impact on the team on the Charlotte Hornets on the hardwood. He is making a big impact on the Charlotte Hornets in the coach's huddle though.

The forward, who is out until April after he had surgery to repair a torn labrum in October, is making the most of his time off the court by becoming another scout and coach for the team, according to Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer.
