NBA Insider suggests that the future prospects of Hornets are not so bleak

The Charlotte Hornets have been in a reconstruction since Kemba Walker. When they decided not to offer him as well as possible and he went, he started reconstruction in Charlotte. That was 2019. You have rebuilt since then.

Sometimes they got better and did two game tournaments. But in 2025 they are still one of the worst teams in the NBA and are still trying to collect assets. The future, mainly because the past and the present went, looked dark. However, it may not be that bad.

Bobby Marks and Jeremy Woo hired the best draft of capital among all NBA teams. Obviously the Oklahoma City Thunder were the first. You will be the top priority for a while. But Charlotte took fifth place, which could be surprising in view of the fact of how long they were bad. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Your high ranking comes because you have three picks in this year's draft and 10 incoming future first houses, including a top-seven selection in the worst case. They have seven of their own and three others, which are determined by protection and swaps and other things that are unique for NBA design business.

They also rank because they have 11 future second round picks. You will not give away any of your first round picks in the next few years, so you have many chances of nailing the draft. Yes, the front office still has to draw well and use this selection appropriately, but you have the chances. This is important here.

The hornets have a story in which it is bad, but that's why it's good to have so many chances. You have three chances this year and you could pack two picks in the second round to give them two picks in the first round, which would completely change things. You need talent and you have more ways to get it than most.

As for the team itself, the Woo and Marks have not discussed this aspect, but they have the creation of a decent core. Lamelo ball is an all-star. Mark Williams is a double double machine. Brandon Miller is an increasing star on a serious upward track.

They are all 23 or younger. Don't forget, Tidjane Salaun, who is not even 20, and is a long -term project that could also be a good player. The bones are there and the future picks are promising. Things could soon look for Charlotte.
