Despite the Charlotte Hornets' struggling 13-39 record, newly acquired center Jusuf Nurkiu0107 remains optimistic about the team's future.

The Hornets, who currently hold the fourth-worst record in the NBA, added the veteran big man to their roster ahead of the trade deadline. Nurkiu0107 expressed enthusiasm about joining Charlotte's young core.

"With LaMelo (Ball), (Brandon) Miller, and Miles (Bridges), we have great talent here," Nurkiu0107 said. "Hornets have a lot of good young players who need to get healthy."
