Once touted as the future sixth man for the Charlotte Hornets, Tre Mann now looks like he will be out the door soon. Since the All-Star break, he’s averaging just 8.9 minutes across nine appearances (not accounting for DNP-CD), a steep fall for a player once expected to stabilize Charlotte’s second unit. To put it bluntly, Mann has been the most disappointing player on the roster this season, struggling to carve out any meaningful role in Charles Lee’s rotation.
Even on nights when opportunity should have been unavoidable, Mann hasn’t been able to seize it. With LaMelo Ball getting into early foul trouble on Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers, Mann logged only two minutes — a clear sign of where he stands in the pecking order.
