Devastating update on Hornets veterans presents dream opportunity for youngsters

It looks like it has been confirmed that Josh Green and Grant Williams won't be ready to resume on-court activities by the time the Charlotte Hornets start training camp. While that is unwelcome news for the organization, it could present an opening for the young guys to fast-track their development.

If the veterans were healthy, they would likely feature prominently in the Hornets' rotation. Green would probably even fight for a spot in the starting lineup, even though some fans don't view him as worthy of holding such a role. Meanwhile, Williams would have been among the first substitutes off the bench, especially given their thin frontcourt.
