After a wild summer in NBA news, that is still ongoing (see the Jimmy Butler saga), we finally have some Charlotte Hornets basketball that matters, sort of. While it is just preseason, the Hornets already have a lot of things they will be looking at to get ready for the real games. Will Charlotte finally get over the hump this year or continue to be mediocre? Is Kemba Walker’s supporting cast good enough to keep him in town? Can new head coach James Borrego take the team in a new direction? These might not all be answered tonight, but we are looking at what you should know before tonight’s preseason opener:
