Will the Charlotte Hornets be better or worse next season? Seems like a simple question to answer but as Bleacher Report’s Dan Favale soon found out, it is a bit complicated.
The Hornets only managed 27 wins last season and several players missed their fair share of games, most notably LaMelo Ball. While Favale notes that the low win total should be relatively easy to surpass, there are some concerns about the current roster construction.
Then again, there is some risk in taking the rosier view. The Hornets ranked eighth in points allowed per possession after the trade deadline, excelling in all the usual areas of a team coached by Steve Clifford.
