Bacon says his best option is to "go somewhere else" as a free agent, Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer reports. "Maybe I'm not meant for this [Hornets] organization or maybe they don't want me. I don't know," said Bacon.

EDGE Analysis

Bacon appeared in just 39 games for the Hornets this season, averaging 5.7 points on 6.3 shots, 2.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 17.6 minutes. He also appeared in nine G League games, where he averaged 31.8 points on 24.9 shots, 8.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 38.6 minutes. There's clearly a massive gap between his G League usage and performance and NBA usage and performance, which could not be bridged. It's unclear how much interest other teams have given how unproven Bacon is across his first three seasons.
