Why The Charlotte Hornets Do The Deal
Let’s talk about the Hornets.
Sure, this team landed second overall in the draft. They had a rough 2022-23 season. On the other hand, they spent a large percentage of it without Ball.
How would they have fared if their best player was healthy? Mark Williams was a solid contributor as a rookie. Terry Rozier remains a dynamic offensive guard. The Hornets may have more talent than their record suggests.
So, the Hornets could justify a win-now push. A core group of Ball, Siakam, and Anunoby should get them comfortably into the playoffs. If everything clicks, they could even win a series or two.
