The Charlotte Hornets are focusing on the development of their young guys during Summer League, such as Kon Knueppel, Liam McNeeley, Ryan Kalkbrenner, Sion James, and even second-year players, Tidjane Salaun and KJ Simpson, who hope to play a pivotal role this upcoming season and beyond.
All that being said, Charlotte is more worried about the present for the first time in several years. They believe that they can win enough games to make the playoffs (or at least the play-in) next season in a horrendously bad Eastern Conference.
The road to the postseason starts with the preseason, and the Hornets have released their home schedule.
