Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Starting vs. Indiana
Hornets to start young center Tidjane Salaun against Pacers
Tidjane Salaun is set to make his first NBA start for the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers. The 22-year-old center will replace Mason Plumlee in the starting lineup, who is out with a left foot injury.
Salaun has been impressive in limited minutes this season
Salaun has averaged 4.8 points and 5.2 rebounds in 11.6 minutes per game this season. He has shown good touch around the rim and has been a solid rebounder. He has also shown some defensive potential, averaging 1.2 blocks per game.
The Hornets are hoping that Salaun can provide them with a spark in the starting lineup. The team has struggled to score consistently this season, and they are hoping that Salaun can help them get more production in the paint.
Salaun is a project but has a lot of potential
Salaun is still a raw player, but he has a lot of potential. He is 7'0" with a 7'4" wingspan, making him a force in the paint. He is also a good athlete, and he has the potential to develop into a very good defender.
The Hornets are excited to see what Salaun can do in the starting lineup. He has the potential to be a very good player, and he could be a key part of the team's future.
