The Hornets plan to meet with free agent PG Brian Roberts, who is on their "short list" of candidates to backup Kemba Walker. The Pistons and Grizzlies have also expressed interest in Roberts, who averaged 9.4 points and 3.3 assists last season and has shot 37.2 percent from downtown in his brief NBA career. Wherever he lands, he's unlikely to exceed the 23 minutes per game he saw with the Pelicans last year.
