Charlotte has inked PJ Hall to a two-way contract, a move that has felt in the making since the big man showed out for the team in Summer League this past July. Hall should see some immediate playing time as the Hornets are currently missing key bigs with injury. Congrats, PJ! To make room for Hall, Charlotte waived Drew Peterson, who played six games for the team this season and averaged 0.8 points.
