Royce O'Neale

Naz Reid says Charlotte wants an "all-around game" from him: ball handling, scoring, post work, creating, defending. He's "playing a lot more minutes now." He, Dennis Schroder, Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen are being put "through the fire" in preseason.

Royce O'Neale has a new job in Charlotte: chase more offensive rebounds. Hornets coach Charles Lee said at practice on Oct. 4: "we've pushed him to come up with more offensive rebounds, and I feel like I've seen him a bunch of times do it."
