A low-risk, high-upside two-way signing that adds developmental depth to Charlotte's frontcourt. Multiple outlets covered the deal, highlighting his Princeton pedigree and G League promise. Evbuomwan's G League Finals MVP award is the clearest signal he belongs on an NBA roster. Hornets fans view this as a smart developmental move during a rebuild phase. Expect him to earn expanded playing time if he continues dominating at the G League level.
