Over the last year, several player have made the transition from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Charlotte Hornets for various reasons.
As if the Oklahoma City Thunder to Charlotte Hornets pipeline couldn't grow any larger, there's another player who has made the transition within the last year.
On a No. 1-seeded Thunder competing in the playoffs, it was difficult for the 24-year-old to find any sort of role on the main roster, only receiving an average of 7.3 minutes per game. With its G-League affiliate OKC Blue, however, he averaged 17.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists on 53% shooting from the field and 39% shooting beyond the arc.
Only Mann and Micic will remain in Charlotte next season, but the addition of Johnson brings the total back up. It's unclear for now whether he will spend time in the G League at first or not, but he will certainly have a better opportunity at playing time on the main roster of a rebuilding Hornets team alongside some familiar faces.
