Micić is a former Euroleague MVP and one of the most accomplished international players, yet he has yet to make a significant impact in the NBA. After being traded to Charlotte from Oklahoma City, he finds himself backing up LaMelo Ball, who has struggled with injuries. Micić's experience and playmaking ability could provide stability to the Hornets' backcourt, especially if Ball's health continues to be a concern. His potential to earn extended minutes could elevate his profile, making him a candidate for recognition in a league that often overlooks players in less glamorous roles.
