Why The Charlotte Hornets Do The Deal

This deal scratches a lot of itches for this Charlotte Hornets club. Frankly, if it’s on the table, the Hornets should accept without a moment’s notice.

It all starts with Mitchell Robinson. He satisfies the Hornets’ well-documented need for a big man. As a rim-running/rim-protecting big with a dominant physical profile, he’ll instantly improve this team’s outlook.

Still, they’re receiving plenty of good assets here. Cam Reddish has failed to really launch throughout his NBA career thus far, but he’s still got great potential as a 3-and-D wing with secondary shot creation skills.

Furthermore, the young, uptempo Hornets ought to give him a great platform to showcase his abilities.
