P.J. Hairston gets NBA chance with Charlotte Hornets

Posted Oct 7, 2014
P.J. Hairston’s talent was such that he was a first-round pick in the NBA Draft last summer.

The Charlotte Hornets hope the 21-year-old 6-6 guard can flash a lot of the former and none of the latter for them this season. (Asheville Citizen-Times)
