Ryan Rollins draws Charlotte Hornets's aggressive hedge & help scheme — hedges hard on ball screens and rotates aggressive help from the weak side.

Primary assignment projects to Sion James (strong defender, 80 Perimeter D), Royce O'Neale secondary, with Moussa Diabate as the low-man/help.

He's cold — 10.6 pts a night over his last 5 (-12.1 vs season). Model lines Rollins at 20.2 pts (range 17.1–23.3) vs a 22.5 line — an uphill case to clear it (25%).

Biggest edge: opponent defense — soft unit — points come easier.

Model favors Charlotte Hornets (65%), projected 115–119, ~234 total at 97.5 pace.
