Terrance Roberson went undrafted in the 2000 NBA Draft, but he still managed to snag a deal with the Charlotte Hornets. What happened next though? Well, it was brief. Like, *really* brief.
A Three-Game Blip
Roberson, a Fresno State alum, made just three total appearances for the Hornets before they waived him in December 2000. Think about that, man. He signed a deal, got on the court, and was out the door before the new year even hit. During his blink-and-you-miss-it time on the court, he averaged zero points, 0.3 rebounds, and 0.3 assists across 4.3 minutes per game. Yeah, zero points. That’s a tough stat line to make your mark with.
What Came Next for Roberson
After his short run with Charlotte, Roberson didn’t just hang up his shoes. He finished that year in the G-League, then took his talents overseas. He played for various international teams, carving out a career outside of the NBA before officially calling it quits after the 2011 season. He never got back to the NBA after that Hornets stint. Talk about a one-shot opportunity that just didn’t quite land.
Terrance Roberson’s time wearing the No. 8 for the Charlotte Hornets was a super short, almost phantom appearance in the league. It reminds us how quickly things can change and how tough it is to stick in the NBA.
