The Hornets have waived shooting guard Bez Mbeng, the team announced (via Twitter).
Charlotte signed the former Yale shooting guard earlier this month, presumably on an Exhibit 10 deal, though his G League rights are still controlled by the Sioux City Skyforce, meaning that for the 23-year-old to qualify for a bonus worth up to $91K, the Hornets’ G League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm, would have to trade for him.
The 6’4″ guard played 15 games for the Jazz last season as a rookie, averaging 8.1 points, 4.1 assists to just 1.5 turnovers, and 2.3 steals, though he only shot 19.4% from three and 64.0% from the line.
