The Charlotte Hornets have a great young core, and they have a shot at making a solid postseason run. Charlotte is led by second-year guard LaMelo Ball. Ball has played at a high level this season, earning himself a spot in the All-Star Game.
The Hornets are making an effort to contend in the competitive Eastern Conference. They are currently 29-30 on the season, which puts them in 9th place in the East. Charlotte made a great move at the deadline by acquiring center Montrezl Harrell from the Washington Wizards.
Harrell will have a significant impact for the Hornets off the bench.
