Lunchpail mentality spurring Hornets’ Bryce McGowens in rookie season
Bryce McGowens is living the dream. There are times he still can’t believe it.
The Charlotte Hornets rookie guard is playing for the NBA franchise he grew up watching and learning on the job. He’s received some key minutes recently due to the Hornets’ rash of injuries and took advantage, showing he wants to be the next in line to leave his imprint on the league the way a few fellow South Carolina products – like Memphis’ Ja Morant and Duke product Zion Williamson with New Orleans – are currently doing.
In the latest episode of The QC Hornets’ Nest, McGowens stopped by to discuss his Carolina roots and how special it is to have family close by, what he’s learned most during the past six months since getting drafted, how playing with the Greensboro Swarm benefited him, what he enjoys most about being a pro at age 20 and more.
