It was their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hornets-news-terry-rozier-dennis-smith-jr-slap-charlotte-with-harsh-reality-after-loss-to-lebron-james-lakers" rel="noopener">third straight loss</a> and at home to make matters worse.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-odds-grizzlies-vs-hornets-prediction-pick-and-how-to-watch-1-4-2023" rel="noopener">Grizzlies exploited</a> some of the Hornets’ defensive flaws. They were more physical, ran in transition, and failed to defend without fouling. Fortunately, Cody Martin <a href="https://www.si.com/nba/hornets/news/cody-martin-set-to-make-return" rel="noopener">returned</a> after missing 38 games. He finished with four points, four rebounds, and two assists. Not the most impactful game on the stat sheet, but it was good to see an impact player try to work his way back into game shape.</p><p>“It’s a blessing. I’ve been out for so long,” Martin said. “Obviously you never want to have to sit out that long. The staff did a great job, and I just stayed consistent getting my body right and getting to where I need to be to go out there and compete. Blessed to be able to get back out there.”</p><p>Martin played less than one minute in the season opener against the San Antonio Spurs, so this was really like a season debut for him. All that is left for Martin is to get back into game shape to play consistent, meaningful minutes. Until then he will likely continue to play in bursts. Despite it being his first game back, he pointed out some of Charlotte’s defensive flaws.</p><p>“It’s stuff that we can control – transition, running back in transition, communication, physicality in the right areas, playing defense without fouling, stop putting guys on the line so early and getting in the bonus so early which contributes to a lot of easy points for them,” Martin explained. “It doesn’t really allow us to be that aggressive on the defensive end. It’s tough because we dig ourselves in a hole sometimes and it’s hard to get out of, especially against really good teams. In this league it’s hard to win every night, it doesn’t matter who you play, so it’s about paying attention to detail, focusing on things that we need to improve our game.”</p><p>The Hornets will be on the road for their next four contest to attempt to get back into the win column. It will not get any easier for them either. They will kick off their road trip in Cream City to play Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. Maybe the Hornets can come out hungry and motivated to come out with a gutty win against a championship contending team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

First, Charlotte selected center Mark Williams with the 15th pick in the NBA Draft in June. Then, the Hornets were thrown a curveball when forward Miles Bridges, who enjoyed a breakout season ahead of his restricted free agency, was arrested for domestic violence the night before the NBA’s free agency period opened.</p><p>With Bridges’ future uncertain, the Hornets made a move to re-sign <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10040820-cody-martin-hornets-reportedly-agree-to-4-year-32m-contract-in-2022-free-agency">one of their own</a> on Saturday. Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that free agent forward Cody Martin has agreed to a four-year, $32 million contract with Charlotte.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Restricted free agent Cody Martin has agreed to a four-year, $32 million deal to return to the Charlotte Hornets, sources tell <a href="https://twitter.com/TheAthletic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@TheAthletic</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Stadium?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@Stadium</a>.</p><p>— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) <a href="https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1543316766373433345?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">July 2, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>It’s a big payday for Martin, who was paid $1.7 million in 2021-22. However, the 26-year-old certainly earned the lucrative deal, as he enjoyed the best season of his three-year career.</p><p>Martin averaged 7.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 38.4 percent from beyond the three-point line in 71 contests. Each of those marks were career-highs for the NC State and Nevada product.</p><p>Martin will be especially important in 2022, given Bridges’ uncertain future. The Hornets are expected to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hornets-rumors-charlotte-free-agency-plans-for-miles-bridges-after-domestic-violence-arrest/">withdraw their qualifying offer</a> for the talented forward- and it’s unclear if he’ll even be suiting up on the court next year.</p><p>As such, Charlotte likely felt even more of a need to get Martin to sign the dotted line in their first move of the NBA free agency period.</p><p>With a new head coach in Steve Clifford, who coached the team from 2013 to 2018, back with the team, Charlotte will look to build on their first winning season since 2015-16.</p><p>Martin will be a part of that quest.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
