In terms of star-power, the Hornets are towards the bottom of the list. They have a borderline All-Star in Gordon Hayward, but past that just a bunch of really solid NBA players. Despite this, they are 6-5 and sitting in position to be in playoff conversations. It’s still early, but it’s starting to look like Charlotte could find themselves in the play-in tournament by the time the season is ending. So since there’s no superstar on the roster, what is winning the Hornets all these games? The answer - ball movement.
One thing that was very clear during their recent game against the Knicks was that the Hornets’ offense is worlds better when the ball is moving.
