Charlotte Hornets

A team that was generally a quick skip when scanning the NBA League Pass schedule has now become a must-watch thanks to two players that have helped change the outlooks for the Charlotte Hornets franchise – LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges.

Both Ball and Bridges have broken out as stars as the team has enjoyed a 4-2 start to the season. The Hornets are young, fast, can score at will, and have star potential that it’s easy to root for. They’ve become every fan’s second or third-favorite team and their early-season success is a good feel-good story.

Tough times will definitely hit the Hornets at some point this season and it should be interesting to see how this team handles such moments. Still, I believe this team is a year or two away from being a true contender in the Eastern Conference.

Verdict: Trick
