Hornets sign veteran forward Jason Maxiell

The Charlotte Hornets added a little depth to their frontcourt on Sunday with the acquisition of power forward Jason Maxiell.

The nine-year veteran boasts career averages of 5.9 points and 4.3 rebounds in 18.9 minutes per game. Maxiell is best known for his stint with the Detroit Pistons, where he spent the first eight years of his career.

Maxiell is an aggressive power forward who loves to throw down the occasional highlight-worthy dunk, but his biggest detriment is his size. Standing at 6-foot-7, Maxiell is undersized for a frontcourt player. 

He'll likely come off the bench for the Hornets, should he make the team.
