Undrafted Australian shooting guard Max Mackinnon has agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal with the Hornets, ESPN’s Olgun Uluc reports (via Twitter).

After playing his first two seasons at Elon, Mackinnon transferred to Portland for his junior year before ending his collegiate career at LSU, where he averaged 15.7 points and 2.5 assists on .418/.376/.877 shooting splits. The 22-year-old 6’6″ guard played five games for the Brisbane Bullets in the NBL during the 2021/22 season, scoring one point in 11 total minutes.

He will join a team in Charlotte that has clearly prioritized offense, and especially three-point shooting, as evidenced by its selection of the sharp-shooting guard Christian Anderson Jr. in the first round, alongside offensive-minded center Hannes Steinbach.

The Exhibit 10 deal means that Mackinnon’s contract will not count against the Hornets’ salary cap during the offseason, but will begin to count if he is kept on the deal into the regular season.

Mackinnon was unrated on Jeremy Woo’s final top-100 big board for ESPN.
