The Charlotte Hornets have had a rough start to the season. They are 6-11 and sit 12th in the Eastern Conference standings.
Despite their struggles, they have seen their young core continue to develop as Charlotte is closing in on ending their rebuild. LaMelo Ball is off to the best start of his young career as he is averaging 31 points, 5.1 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game. He is not the only Hornets’ youngster to break out this season as Brandon Miller has also impressed early on.
With Ball and Miller leading the way, the Hornets are just a few moves away from being contenders in the East.
