After barely seeing the court to begin the 2023-24 season, Mann was traded from Oklahoma City to Charlotte before the trade deadline, affording him with a nice opportunity to prove his worth. In fact, following the trade, Mann started 28 consecutive games to close the season, averaging 11.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 31.0 minutes per game. During that span, Mann put up top-130 numbers, proving to be a sneaky late-season addition for anyone who snapped him up. However, coming into the 2024-25 season, the Hornets expect to have LaMelo Ball fully healthy, shifting Mann back to the bench. He may have done enough to establish himself as the primary backup ahead of Vasilije Micic, but unfortunately, that role likely won't produce sustainable value. While he isn't worth drafting in standard leagues, Ball's ongoing health concerns could open up another opportunity for Mann at some point. Managers would be wise to keep an eye on things in Charlotte, just in case Ball is forced to the sideline, even for a limited period.
