The Charlotte Hornets' 2024-25 season was another tough one to handle, plagued by injuries to key players like LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges, and Mark Williams. This unfortunate series of events led to a disappointing record, extending their playoff drought to nine consecutive seasons.
However, the silver lining emerged in the form of securing the No. 4 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Finally, there could be a way for the Hornets to start improving their current roster. With LaMelo Ball at the helm, the Hornets have a dynamic playmaker capable of leading a competitive team.
