Charlotte Hornets announce Greensboro Swarm as NBA D-League team

The Greensboro Swarm is the name of the Charlotte Hornets' NBA D-League affiliate, the team announced today.

The Hornets chose Greensboro as the place the team would play in late October, but decided to hold off on naming and branding the team. A few weeks later, we discovered that the Hornets were deciding between Attack, Buzz, and Swarm, but the team remained silent on what its plans were. We didn't hear a peep for over a month.

So there you have it, your Greensboro Swarm!

Definitely the best of the three.

The Swarm won't actually play a game until next fall, and team president Steve Swetoha has yet to begin hiring coaches and fleshing out his front office.
