Salaun totaled 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-10 3Pt), five rebounds, an assist and a steal across 24 minutes in Thursday's 119-94 win over the Grizzlies. Salaun will probably see a lot of time in the preseason. The first-round pick has an excellent chance to remain on the roster and avoid a G League post thanks to previous pro experience in France. The power forward enters a crowded depth chart and will play behind Miles Bridges this season.

Hornets Odds & Projections
Latest Hornets News
Tidjane Salaun : Posts 13 points from bench
Salaun totaled 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-10 3Pt), five rebounds, an assist and a steal across 24 minutes in Thursday's 119-94 win over the Grizzlies. Salaun will probably see a lot of time in the preseason. The first-round pick has an excellent chance to remain on the roster and avoid a G League post thanks to previous pro experience in France. The power forward enters a crowded depth chart and will play behind Miles Bridges this season.
Tre Mann : Stays hot in preseason win
Mann tallied 19 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Ot, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot across 22 minutes in Thursday's 119-94 win over the Grizzlies. While Mann's streak of production is encouraging, LaMelo Ball's return will severely limit the Florida product's usage in the regular season. Mann's situation could be worse, as Ball has had difficulty staying healthy and needs solid bench support. Unless something happens to Ball or Brandon Miller, Mann will toil with the second unit.
Brandon Miller : Drills six threes in blowout
Miller logged 22 points (8-13 FG, 608 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and a steal across 24 minutes in Thursday's 119-94 win over the Grizzlies. Miller's shot betrayed him in his second preseason game, but he more than made up for it with a masterful team-leading performance Thursday night. Were it not for Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren, Miller would have been a shoo-in for Rookie of the Year recognition. The Alabama product took advantage of the opportunity given by LaMelo Ball's absence to take over backcourt duties. We won't see much of Ball in the preseason, so we'll have to wait a bit to see how Ball's return might adjust Miller's role He'll most likely work as the off-guard while Ball re-assumes the job as floor general.
Cody Martin : Remains out Thursday
Martin (wrist) didn't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Grizzlies. Martin continues to fight through a sprained wrist, and the injury forced him to miss another exhibition. Look for Tidjane Salaun, Tre Mann and Seth Curry to continue to get more run in the preseason until Martin is cleared for play.
Seth Curry : Enters starting five
Curry is starting Thursday's preseason game against the Grizzlies. Curry will get a chance to start at point guard after it was reported LaMelo Ball and Josh Green would be sat down for rest purposes. Look for Curry to get plenty of opportunities along with Tre Mann and Tidjane Salaun in Thursday's exhibition.
Vasilije Micic : Starting vs. Memphis
Micic will start in Thursday's preseason game against the Grizzlies. Micic will get a starting nod in this contest since the Hornets are resting LaMelo Ball. The Serbian point guard will get some minutes as he's pushing to earn the backup point guard role behind Ball.
Josh Green : Resting Thursday
Green won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Grizzlies for rest purposes, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. The team mentioned leading up to Thursday's exhibition that a few of the regular starters would get the night off, and it's since been announced that Green and LaMelo Ball won't suit up. Cody Martin (wrist) and Tidjane Salaun could be in line for more chances in Green's absence.
LaMelo Ball : Won’t play Thursday
Ball (rest) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. The Hornets will give Ball some rest in this preseason contest, meaning Vasilije Micic will start at point guard. Ball is expected to see minutes in the upcoming preseason games before the start of the regular season against the Rockets on Oct. 23.
