"It's done; he got it (Thursday)," general manager Dell Demps said Friday morning of the visa. "He's cleared and ready to go. He's available to play. But he's still learning the system. We want to bring him along slow. There's no rush to bring him out here and throw him to the wolves. He's still making the transition, learning the plays. He didn't come to training camp, so it will take him a little while."

Ayon signed with the Hornets on Dec. 23 after securing his buyout from Madrid's Fuenlabrada team in the ACB league in Spain.

When Ayon is comfortable in the Hornets' system, he'll be battling for minutes with an established front line.
