Hornets Look For Improvement in 2023-24

The Charlotte Hornets have historically been a struggling franchise over their young history. Founded in 1988 the team has no championships, conference titles, or division titles. The team has only made the conference semi-finals four times and is currently in an eight season playoff drought. While this is a frustrating stretch it is difficult for newer teams to build a championship team and the Hornets have begun to collect young player stats through years of prime draft picks.  The 2023-24 season was another one of struggle for the team as the Hornets finished with a record of 21-61, 13th place in the East. This poor play was clear as the team had a league-lowest net rating of -10.5, showcasing the team's ability on both ends of the court. The Hornets issues extend beyond the court as their ownership struggled to select quality players with their string of top draft picks. The organization will need to make drastic changes to right the ship.    

Despite the team's struggles they have begun to see an emerging young core with the likes of Lamelo Ball, Miles Bridges, and Brandon Miller. Lamelo Ball was selected with the 3rd overall pick in the 2020 draft by the Hornets. Ball, the youngest of the infamous Ball brothers was making headlines long before his NBA career with the wild antics of his father and his historic high school career alongside his brother LiAngelo and Lonzo. Lamelo was viewed as an incredibly talented star but also picked up the title of a prima donna. Despite hesitation across the league, Lamelo would prove them wrong as he burst onto the scene winning Rookie of the Year and being selected as an all-star in his second season. In the 2023-24 season, the 22-year-old led the team with 23.9 points and 8 assists per game. Brandon Miller was a star at Alabama, averaging 18.8 points and 8.2 rebounds in his final season. He was selected by the Hornets 2nd overall in the 2023 NBA draft.  In his rookie year, a 21-year-old Miller averaged 17.3 points per game and finished 3rd in Rookie of the Year voting. Bridges was drafted 12th overall in the 2018 NBA draft by the Clippers and then traded to the Hornets. He has been a solid player throughout his career and the 25-year-old averaged 21 points per game in the 2023-24 season. 

These players are examples of draft picks that have been making an impact on the court, but the team has been able to build around their young core. The team ranked 26th in effective field goal percentage, showcasing their inability to score effectively. This is likely a result of their young core as the players have potential but have yet to gain the efficiency that comes from experience in the league. If the team can acquire veteran premises that will guide and support the team's young core, the Hornets have the potential to grow their team into championship contenders. 

Charlotte Hornets 2022-23 Season in Review

The Hornets took a step back in the 2022-23 season. The team finished with an overall record of 27-55, putting them in 14th place in the Eastern Conference. As a result, the team is looking at the second pick in the first round of the NBA draft. Fans wonder if Brandon Miller will be the Hornets' pick. There are also rumors that LaMelo Ball might be traded for the right player. The team is hoping to turn their fortunes around, with the right moves off-season. 

In the 2022-23 season, Terry Rosier was the team's leading scorer. He played in 63 games and had a total of 259 rebounds with 319 assists. P.J. Washington had a total of 1144 points, played in 73 games, and scored 149 three-point shots.    

Hornets 2021-22 Season Stats

The Hornets managed to finish the season in 10th place in the NBA Eastern Conference. Their final record was 43-39, finishing fourth in the league in scoring. On the flip side, the team ranked 25th out of 30 in points allowed. The Spectrum Center is home to the Hornets, and over 700,000 fans attended home games in 2021-22. That attendance figure ranks 14th of all NBA teams. Coach James Borrego celebrated his fourth season at the helm but he was replaced at the end of the season by Steve Clifford. Bruce Kreutzer will be joining Clifford in Charlotte. He has years of experience as an assistant.  

Who did the team lean on the most in 2021-22? Miles Bridges played in 80 games this past season. He also topped the team in minutes played at 35.5 per game. Bridges averaged 20.2 points per game. This young player will be relied upon for 2022-23. Small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. had a breakout season, playing in 76 games since coming to Charlotte from Golden State. His 15.4 points per game average off the bench was a huge help in keeping the Hornets in playoff contention. LeMelo Ball, Terry Rozier, and Mason Plumlee made up the core of the team.
