Charlotte Hornets waive former Kentucky Wildcats standout guard

The Charlotte Hornets, and every other team in the NBA, are preparing for the new season, and part of that process is trimming down the roster. In doing so, the Hornets have waived former No. 8 overall pick Rob Dillingham, who was a star during his time with the Kentucky Wildcats.

Dillingham was a four-star recruit who played with Overtime Elite during his high school days. From Hickory, North Carolina, Dillingham chose Kentucky over just about every other program in the country. He played in 32 games, starting just one of those. Dillingham was as much of a pure scorer for the Cats as fans had seen in quite some time. He averaged 15.2 points and 3.9 assists per game, shooting 47.5% from the field.
