Salaun has solid size at the wing position at 6-foot-9 and has really become more than just a catch-and-shoot threat along the perimeter. He's worked this past season to add muscle to his frame and his physicality in the lane improved while playing for Cholet in the LNB Pro A league.

Simpson is a speedy point guard who plays bigger than his 6-foot-2 frame. He's tough in the lane, has improved his 3-point jumper and is a guy who can come in right away and can lead the second unit. He's a little undersized and the Hornets have invested in a lot of guards in the last two drafts, but he's so tough and a hard worker who can be a backup point guard to LaMelo Ball.
