The free agency period officially opens today and 6 PM ET. The Charlotte Hornets will head into the summer armed with a Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception worth approximately $12.4 million. The 2023 free agent class isn’t stacked with elite talent, but it does have some valuable role players who could help improve the Hornets’ roster.
Charlotte’s list of team needs is rather long. Finding a legitimate movement shooter will sit high on Mitch Kupchak’s to-do list as the front office looks to add some additional perimeter-based firepower to a team that stuttered on the offensive end last season.
Perhaps a rotational big man could be what the Hornets are looking for, assuming they decide to leave James Nnaji in Europe.
