Belinelli to join Hornets in bid to boost 3 point shooting
The Hornets target Marco Belinelli as a veteran 3 point shooter to ease pressure on free agent signings. He carries a 3 year, 19 million contract with two years left from his Kings deal and would join a team fresh off a 48-34 season and a first round playoff exit to Miami. Belinelli has posted two 90 plus 3 pointers in recent seasons while shooting 37.9 percent from beyond the arc. He would fit Steve Clifford’s system and help Charlotte’s high volume 3 point approach.
