‘Like plugging me in wherever’: Nassir Little showcases versatility at Hornets workout

Posted May 31, 2019
After his workout with the Charlotte Hornets, Nassir Little shared a high-five with Mitch Kupchak, the team’s general manager. Kupchak, a former star at UNC, is 6-foot-9. Little is listed at 6-foot-6 but has a wingspan of more than 7-foot-1. That, along with his 220-pound frame, may enable him to defend against bigger and taller NBA players next fall.
