The Charlotte Hornets are signing guard Damion Baugh to a two-way NBA contract out of G League's Westchester Knicks, sources tell ESPN. Baugh has averaged nearly 13 points and 10 assists in G League.

Pros:
Quick first step
Great frame with huge hands
Good downhill speed; difficult to stop in transition
Comfortable with both hands
Quick handle with lots of counters and dribble moves
Creative playmaker with good vision
Good motor
Great in the P&R as a ball-handler; can create for both himself and others out of P&R
Great feel for the game; comfortable being a floor general and directing the offense
Rangy defender who can stay in front of quicker guards
Cons:
Needs to become a consistent shooter
Must develop a reliable runner/floater
Limited off the dribble scorer
Similar to: Elfrid Payton, Briante Weber
Projected draft range: 55-undrafted
Expected role: Two-way combo guard that can get to the rim and create for others.
Unplayable if: Jump shooting never progresses and his average size doesn’t stand out.
Exceeds expectations if: 3P% exceeds 30% on respectable volume and his playmaking jumps with NBA spacing.
