What the Drafting of Tidjane Salaun Means for Current Charlotte Hornets

Tidjane Salaün is the newest Charlotte Hornet. Charles Lee and Jeff Peterson made their first big personnel move as the leading men in Charlotte, and they took a big swing on a young prospect that oozes potential. The drafting of Salaün is the first domino of many that will fall as Lee and Peterson re-shape the roster in their image. What does the selection of the young frenchman mean for players currently on the roster? Let's take a look.

JT Thor

Charlotte owns a team option on Thor's contract that is up this summer. With the selection of Salaün, I believe that Charlotte will decline the option allowing Thor to become a free agent.
