Vasilije Micic has career night in Hornets debut: "He knows where everybody is on the floor"

Serbian point guard was traded from the Thunder to the Hornets

Vasilije Micic starred in his debut with the Charlotte Hornets jersey, 18 points and 9 assists in 26 minutes in the win against the Grizzlies.

Coach Clifford was impressed with the mastery Micic showed on the court.

“All the stuff you can’t teach,” Clifford said. “He knows where everybody is on the floor. Obviously he is a terrific passer and a good pick and roll player. And he’s got size. He’s big. Some of those passes maybe other guys can see, but don’t have the ability to make the play.”

"[The trade] just gave me another boost because as a player, you just like to play. That’s what I tried to use today. [We got] the victory, everyone on the court had good energy and it helped to make us feel comfortable.” Vasilije Micić
