The Charlotte Hornets are coming off of one of their most successful season in recent history. They are also following a summer where they lost multiple free agents who signed elsewhere this offseason. There is a lot of pressure on them going into the 2016-17 season.

Buzz City took off last year as the Hornets pushed their way into the Eastern Conference playoffs with a surprising 48 win season. Their instant success with a bunch of new players was a shock to the entire league.
