The countdown is on.
With a mere six games left in their injury-ravaged regular season, the Charlotte Hornets can’t completely cast their attention to an important offseason just yet. But it’s rapidly approaching and they may have the opportunity to add a significant piece to their young core when the NBA Draft rolls around in June.
Barring a significant turn of events – like a sizzling winning streak by Detroit, Houston or San Antonio paired with a Hornets’ losing skid – it’s almost a given Charlotte won’t finish among the NBA’s bottom three teams record-wise.
