The only member of the Hornets’ final roster who didn’t begin the 2020-21 NBA campaign in Charlotte, Brad Wanamaker provided the team with valuable veteran depth and experience, particularly following a rash of injuries to the backcourt in the second half of the season.
Wanamaker spent his first two NBA seasons with the Boston Celtics before signing a free agent deal with Golden State last fall. Shortly after LaMelo Ball’s wrist fracture in mid-March, the Hornets acquired Wanamaker, Toronto’s top-54 protected 2022 second-round pick and cash considerations from the Warriors in exchange for a top-55 protected 2025 second-round pick.
