I'm finding it strange that almost nobody online has mentioned the two new players the Hornets have picked up for training camp. First I heard of it was from Roland in the comments here yesterday, and I've since heard that the two newbies were getting schooled by Ryan Bowen at the New Orleans Arena earlier this week.

So allow me to break the ice and deliver a little more info on the newest Hornets…

If anyone has any additional info on these guys, please share in the comments.
