In return, the Hornets would get an intriguing prospect in Nah’Shon Hyland. His draft stock skyrocketed during the combine and ended up being a first-round selection of the Nuggets.

Despite receiving a long-term contract extension, things can change in the NBA. If the Charlotte Hornets receive a surprisingly strong performance from James Bouknight then moving on from Rozier and his hefty contract would be the best long-term answer.
