Goal: Lottery; opportunistic adds to their young core
Name(s) to watch: Miles Bridges, Nick Richards, Cody Martin, Josh Green
The Hornets have begun to solidify their core around the tandem of LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller, but the rest of the roster has a long way to go. Some around the league wonder if Bridges could be moved if a team like the LA Clippers still has an interest.
However, most of the sources polled think the Hornets will make broader wholesale changes this offseason. Mark Williams, one of the team’s top prospects in recent years, has yet to show the necessary durability. Charlotte could look for a more established replacement this offseason. In the meantime, the Hornets may get some compensation for Richards if the team chooses to cash out on the backup center.
