McConnell and Garrett had previously played for the Hornets during the summer league, and Garrett also spent last season with the Swarm. Their performances were modest, but the Hornets evidently saw potential in them.
Soriano, who had a productive career at St. John’s, was initially reported to be signing in June. He averaged a double-double over his last two seasons, showcasing his skills as a center.
Keyontae Johnson is the standout of this group, having faced significant health challenges after collapsing during a game at Florida. After being cleared to play, he completed his college career at Kansas State and was drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder. Johnson has the potential to make an impact in the NBA if he continues to develop.
Exhibit 10 contracts are non-guaranteed, primarily serving to help teams build their G League rosters. If released, players can receive a signing bonus when they join the G League affiliate. Most players with these contracts will likely participate in training camp before heading to the G League.
