Instead, the 19-year-old can’t get enough of the offseason regime cooked up for him by the Hornets’ performance staff, which has him effectively serving as a gym-rat with a strict focus on one thing: basketball. “That’s something normal for me,” Salaün said. “I’ve done this now for the last three years — I did only work for the summer and that’s something I like. There’s no regrets. Just sacrifice some cool stuff for a better future I can say. “So, yeah, I’m just proud of myself to have this mentality to continue to work, because that is going to help me be better for the next season.”
Rozier, who is in a walking boot and on crutches, was one of only four players in the NBA who shot worse than 40 percent from the field and worse than 30 percent on threes while playing in at least 60 games this regular season. That list also includes Charlotte Hornets forward Tidjane Salaun, Philadelphia 76ers guard Ricky Council IV and Orlando Magic guard Jett Howard. “I have the utmost respect for Terry,” Heat captain and three-time All-Star center Bam Adebayo said. “He could have let go of the rope, like a lot of guys have done in this league. They let go of the rope because they’re out of the rotation or whatever the case may be. For him to keep fighting, keep having perseverance and just keep stacking days of just trying to get better, you respect that in somebody.”
Sam Perley: Tidjane Salaün says he plans to work on his body, handle, shot mechanics and finishing this summer. Wants to create more offensively for himself and his teammates next year.

That raises the obvious question: What about LaMelo Ball? Sources said the Hornets have no interest in moving on from their star guard. But setting aside the questions about Williams moving forward after the rescinded trade, the Hornets have Miller, their upcoming lottery pick and this year's lottery selection, Tidjane Salaun, all as building blocks moving forward. Ball, meanwhile, is already on his second contract. That alone makes it an interesting situation to monitor moving forward. "LaMelo is the question there," the scout said.
Rod Boone: LaMelo and Tidjane are active. But Seth Curry (low back tightness) and Jusuf Nurkic (illness) are out.
