Charlotte Hornets waive former lottery pick ahead of training camp
The Charlotte Hornets waived former lottery pick Rob Dillingham after acquiring him in a trade with the Chicago Bulls.
Ahead of the Charlotte Hornets' training camp, the team has continued to make roster adjustments. In a recent move, the Hornets waived two point guards from their squad. The first to be released was Ryan Nembhard, a former Dallas Mavericks guard. Following media day on Monday, it was announced that Rob Dillingham, the Charlotte Hornets' recent No. 8 overall draft pick, would also be waived.
Dillingham, who hails from North Carolina, played two NBA seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Chicago Bulls. His college basketball career included time at Kentucky. With this decision, the Hornets' roster currently totals 16 players, exceeding the mandated 15-man limit.
