The Charlotte Hornets have named Buzz Peterson Assistant General Manager.

“Throughout his tenure with our organization, Buzz has been an integral part of all aspects of our basketball operations department, with a focus on scouting and player evaluation,” Cho said. “He brings a wide breadth of basketball knowledge to the position, having been involved in the game at various levels for close to three decades. I’m excited to be working more closely with Buzz in his new role and look forward to his continued contributions to our basketball team.”

Peterson’s promotion to Assistant General Manager comes after serving last season as the Senior Advisor to Basketball Operations. 

During his time with the franchise, Peterson has been involved in various aspects of basketball operations, including pro personnel evaluation, NBA free agency, collegiate scouting and the NBA Draft process.

Michael Carter-Williams has agreed to sign with the Charlotte Hornets on a one-year, $2.7 million deal.

The Chicago Bulls did not tender the qualifying offer to Carter-Williams, which made him an unrestricted free agent.

Carter-Williams was the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2014, but was traded by the Philadelphia 76ers during his second NBA season and again by the Milwaukee Bucks before the 16-17 season.

So happy to be joining the hornets this year! Thank you to Chicago for having me I appreciate. Time to move to the next chapter! BUZZZZCITY
