The Charlotte Hornets didn’t disassemble their roster this summer and instead focused on re-tooling and re-examining their approach. However, no matter how positive a spin you put on it doesn’t change the fact that this roster has been mediocre the past two seasons.
Is there a playoff squad in this group? Probably. Maybe. I really hope so. But a combination of things (a few of them performance based) have prevented the Hornets from jumping into the Top 8 of the Eastern Conference.
So with new head coach James Borrego, you’d expect changes. We know they want to play faster and with more space and shooters on the floor, and doing so may mean changing the positions of a couple of players.
