Another deflating Charlotte Hornets season has came and went. Though to be fair, it concluded on a much more positive note than years past thanks to the sea change in the front office since Jeff Peterson took over. Rather than hoping that key players would just stay healthy (falsely, in hindsight), this summer Hornets fans can look forward to a new front office strategy, a new head coach, and in all likelihood, a new cast of players on the roster.
Part of that “new cast of players” will inevitably be a high pick in 2024 (unless the pick is traded, but that’s for another time), because lost seasons do breed at least one positive result; a high lottery pick in the NBA Draft.
