It’s time.
January is far too early for most NBA fans to turn their attention towards the upcoming draft; but for those who follow the Charlotte Hornets, it’s long overdue after what’s been the most tumultuous season imaginable to this point.
Through 49 games, the Charlotte’s 13-36 record has them second-to-last in the East with the third-best odds to obtain the no. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft Lottery. The bottom-three teams each get a 14 percent chance at picking first, the fourth team gets a 12.5 percent chance and fifth gets 10.5 before the odds start getting painfully slim.
