For the Charlotte Hornets staff, the top priority is to surround their young star LaMelo Ball with the talent to help him grow and excel as a player in the NBA. With the arrival of Ish Smith, Charlotte is hoping Smith’s leadership and experience in the league can be passed down to not only Ball but the rest of Charlotte’s young core.
While the signing of Smith was just a band-aid on the point guard position after losing both Devonte’ Graham and Malik Monk.
