Point guard
Theo Maledon has earned another deal with the Charlotte Hornets, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The 22-year-old is returning to the team on a two-way contract. Maledon was also picked up on a two-way contract by the Hornets a year ago, and he had a decent time with the team by averaging 6.7 points and 3.5 assists in 19.4 minutes. However, Maledom's situation will clearly be complicated in 2023-24, as several players are back healthy for Charlotte, which limits the Frenchman's chances of earning minutes.

Charlotte Hornets guard
Theo Maledon put in another productive performance Friday against Houston, posting 22 points with eight assists and a career-high five steals in a 122-109 loss. He got there with 8-for-15 shooting, hitting a nice 4-for-8 from behind the arc. Across 38 minutes of action, Maledon also picked up one rebound and one block. With Maledon and
Svi Mykhailiuk forming one of the deadliest backcourt duos in the league, you know that the NBA regular season is sadly coming close to an end. The pair will finish the campaign against Cleveland on Sunday, with Maledon entering the action having averaged 14.3 points, 11.0 assists and 2.3 steals in the last three games.

Free-agent guard
Theo Maledon has agreed to a two-way contract with the Hornets. Since entering the league, the 2020 second-round pick appeared in 116 games over two seasons with OKC, averaging 8.8 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.9 rebounds. He was recently traded to the Rockets, although he was waived shortly after. There's a chance the 21-year-old could get work at the professional level this season. However, Maledon probably won't see a consistent role even if he gets a promotion, so he shouldn't offer any value to fantasy managers. His career 32.2% shooting from deep also isn't ideal for category participants.

The Thunder have traded guard
Theo Maledon to the Rockets. In addition, Houston will also receive
Derrick Favors,
Ty Jerome, and
Maurice Harkless in exchange for
David Nwaba,
Sterling Brown,
Trey Burke, and
Marquese Chriss. Maledon played in 51 games with OKC last season. However, he shined during his seven appearances in the starting lineup, averaging 16.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.0 assists. The 21-year-old is young and has plenty of upside. However, unless Maledon can carve out a consistent role in Houston throughout the 2022-23 campaign, he's nothing more than a dynasty stash.
